I
got
same-day
ReLEX
SMILE
surgery
on
April
23rd,
2022.
I
also
opted
to
get
an
additional
treatment
to
strengthen
my
corneas
as
my
astigmatism
was
almost
at
the
upper
limit
of
treatable
for
SMILE
procedures.
This
secondary
procedure
served
to
both
prevent,
or
at
least
limit,
recurrence
of
astigmatism
later
in
life
and
would
also
enable
me
to
get
an
additional
procedure
when
older
should
such
prove
to
be
necessary.
I
would
like
to
say
that
my
experience
overall
was
incredibly
positive.
I
went
in
early
Saturday
morning
for
a
very
thorough
examination,
which
also
had
a
couple
of
redundancy
tests
to
ensure
the
overall
accuracy
of
certain
more
patient-dependent
results.
I
then
had
a
comprehensive
interview
detailing
each
surgery
and
their
respective
procedures
and
recovery
times.
All
of
which
was
performed
with
the
help
of
an
on-site
interpreter,
who
was
very
warm
and
answered
all
of
my
questions
with
care.
This
first
stage
of
the
process
took
about
90
minutes.
I
then
went
to
have
lunch
while
waiting
for
my
DNA
results.
This
test
was
done
to
ensure
that
I
did
not
have
any
genetic
abnormalities
that
would
make
proceeding
with
laser
eye
surgery
a
risk.
My
secondary
procedure
took
place
less
than
2
hours
after
my
morning
consultation
which
was
incredibly
convenient.
The
surgery
itself
only
took
about
15
minutes
(the
entire
event
was
about
an
hour
with
pre-
and
post-care)
and
while
it
was
somewhat
nerve-wracking
(these
are
my
eyes
after
all),
my
surgeon
was
incredibly
competent,
confident
and
diligent,
so
I
was
as
comfortable
as
it
was
possible
for
someone
like
me
to
be.
(I'm
not
kidding;
I
can't
watch
anything
involving
eyes...
those
episodes
of
House
where
they
jam
the
needle
in
an
eye
for
tests.....
god
no).
All-in-all
I
was
in
the
clinic
and
10am
and
had
finished
my
operation
by
about
3pm.
My
post-op
results
have
been
excellent.
For
a
few
hours
post-surgery,
my
left
eye
was
watery
and
a
little
uncomfortable
(like
I
had
gotten
an
eyelash
in
it),
but
this
stopped
after
I
got
home
and
slept
for
a
few
hours.
My
vision
is
significantly
better
than
I
expected
so
soon
after
the
surgery.
It's
almost
crystal
clear
-
there
is
a
mild
haze,
but
I
work
in
editing
and
have
been
sitting
in
front
of
a
computer
for
the
better
part
of
the
last
8
hours,
so
that
is
by
far
the
biggest
contributing
factor.
When
I
woke
up
this
morning
(2
days
after
surgery)
it
was
similar
to
what
your
vision
is
like
after
you
get
a
new
contact
or
glasses
prescription.
I
have
also,
thankfully,
not
had
any
dry
eye.
This
was
my
other
major
concern
as
it
is
something
of
a
mild
issue
I
have
generally
-
another
hazard
of
my
particular
job.
But
my
eyes
have
been
great
-
better
than
usual
to
be
honest.
But
I
also
have
to
put
in
medicated
eye
drops
every
few
hours,
so
this
could
be
part
of
the
why
for
that^^:
All
in
all,
I
would
happily
recommend
BGSS
to
anyone
looking
to
get
laser
eye
surgery
as
I
don't
think
there
is
anything
that
they
could
have
done
to
improve
the
experience
for
me.
When
my
brother
and
his
wife
visit
me
later
this
year,
I
will
definitely
try
to
talk
them
into
getting
it
done
-
both
because
the
price
can't
be
beat
compared
to
America
and
because
the
overall
experience
was
truly
outstanding.
