LASIK @ Shinagawa

Posted by eladarea on Monday, 29 June, 2009 8:04 pm

Brought forward my LASIK surgery supposed to be Thursday 2 July. Got a call on sat late noon saying someone gave up the slot. So did it this morning 915AM. Thanks B for accompanying me and making sure im safe, looking after my belongings, waited for me 2 hours at the main area. Hurhur.

GF V. took up Paragon’s LASIK SURGERY CLINIC. Cant remember how much she paid total. Ask her later. She might be cooking dinner now i think… We wanted to do it together but she chose paragon and i want to try the latest/fastest Allegretto Wave 400 HZ with eye tracking blah blah… (cant blame me… i abit techie..), rather than VISX, time has proven it’s traken records… astronauts using it, tiger woods using it.. high vision quality… hmm.. She did it last week, me today… She told me she was tearing alot, very very glaring when she goes into the outdoors.. she wears glasses..

Sms-ed bosses to inform them i will be on MC for 3 days. I have taken 2 days mc last week cos my head was hurting and giddiness caused me to just want to sleep. I took 1 day mc only the other one i converted last min to urgent leave since i cant produce mc when i was back in office.. There’s a few times I was on mc i just couldnt be bothered to go to the doctor… (you know you just wanted to rest and sleep from day to night??)  but ya… guess most of us got to drag ourselves down to the clinic to get medicine when panadol could do the job.

One of them replied me sms this morning after i informed them of the surgery “Make sure you got mc n the whole thing is not a lie”…

Totally cheesed off, i replied “I hope my past mc do not seem like likes. The doctor will know what to do, its a surgery, forms to be signed.”

He replied again “The past many times did make it look like likes”.

I replied again “Im glad I appear healthy. Anyhow its human nature not to trust someone or something easily. Ok Im going in see you soon!”

Headed to the counter, filled up consent form. Signed.

Made payment, obtain 3 Days MC as suggested by nurse. Total incl. GST, medication, eye drops, eye shield… etc. 2.5k. Credit Card, UOB, diners, Citibank, 3,6 ,9, 12 mths installment.

Waited for my turn, chatted with B.

My turn. Go into consultation room. Apply drops… Explain numbing purpose and blur visions later.. dont be alarmed. It’s normal.

Go into a small chamber, curtain close in front of you. See on comfy chair. Close and sleep for 20 mins.

Went into one compartment, put on surgery gown, cap. Started eye cleaning and numbing process. — no numb feeling at all” — just feels cool cos theres liquid in your eyes + aircon.

Close and rest.

Repeat a few times.

Doctor came to check my eyes make sure its healthy. Ok healthy,

Room 1. - Flap creation. Bubbles.

Lie down, position head, shoulders, body, chin. Open eyes.. they placed something like a plastic ring over right eye… kept it open.. ok close my eyes…. suction pressure on right eye now.. but pretend im sleeping. Darkness.. (but in actual fact my right eye is WIDE OPEN just that you dont feel it.)

[wait i go put eye drops, continue typing later...]

[ok im back]

Continue staring at a white circle… dont blink dont move… 15 secs left….. 10 seconds left…. 5 seconds left… ok very good you are done..

Repeat same for second eye..

Close and rest.. Ok tilt head to left… open eyes… wash left eye… tilt to right, open eyes, wash right eye.. ok close and rest.

Explain what to expect in 2nd room. Green light (cornea procedures e.g. open, close of flap), red light.. actual lasering of eye.

Travel to 2nd room.

Lie down, position head, shoulders, body, chin. Place a cloth to cover face, with holes for eyes, cover left eye. open both eyes, look at green light… numbing drops, open cornea… light turns red.. look at red light dont chase after it, remember the position you first saw it… 8 … 7….6…5…4…3…2…1.. Ok keep eyes open… see green lights.. blur.. close back flap… see him “sweep” the surface of my eyeballs… like mini windscreen wiper on a tiny screen attached right infront of my eye…

Remove cover on left eye, change to covering right eye, repeat step.

Adjust cornea properly…

Close and rest my eye… Open… eye drops… close and rest..

Done. Open eyes… get up, walk to door wear shoes take off gown.

Go back into small chamber, curtain close again, drink warm water, sleep for 10 mins.

Go back into small consultation room. Get medicine package in a zip bag.. put into paper bag, together with MC, instructions, explanation of different eye solutions…Apply only when awake. Dont need specially wake up from sleep to apply.

[ wait... eye drops again..]

[ok done]

Total 3 types. : Vigamox 5ml, Allergan Pred Forte 1%, Alcon Tear Naturale eyedrops. Every one hour application, but between these 3, 5 mins apart.

Got out of wheelock, just nice someone alighted from cab.. cab home.. gave directions on the way..
Sun is not glaring to me… just bit blur .. ABIT only (like you just woke up from bed). Everything’s perfectly fine… I tried to keep my eyes open only a little to prevent more dust from getting in… Can see roads can see steps can see faces and … THE ROAD SIGNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont even need sunglass.

Reach home. Went wash feet was hands…went into bedroom, applied eye drops.. put on eye shield, sleep from 12 to 3.

Woke up reply sms, answer phone call..

{wait 3rd eye drop]

[k done. 1 hour later repeat]

Wake up on computer, msn abit (still having eye shield on)…

Type without looking at screen… only look when reading friend’s replies.

GF V. called. Leng called. Called S. Recommended 1st gf to go for it…

Tomorrow morning checkup and review to make sure everything is alright and good.

No swimming first week.
No sea sports (incl. diving 2 weeks)

No eye contact with water/shampoo or anything incl. make up blah blah… for at least 3 days..
(using tower to wipe face), Can shower.. need skill lar.

No rubbing or scratching of eyes… - i dont have this habit.

^_^Y

Mission completed!

Doctor was professional, steady, i DONT feel nervous AT ALL. nurses were well trained, gentle…

Good experience, 9/10. (The remaining 1 point nothing to do with Shinagawa, just my own experiece of…”Ewwww…. Gross…. there it goes… that jelly tissue is opened… Eeeeeeeeee…. this suction power… yuck.. my eyeball must be looking round and scary and digusting… Omg… yuck… the laser is burning my tissues…  Sheesh…. okok there he goes, that pincer thing, holding on to my flap i better not fidgid. Yes ok Pheww… must be closed back already. Huh? Not in good position ah? oh ok he is shifting it.. okokok in place. Good. Done.. OMG… the other eye… not again… okok.. yuck.. Hehehe not painful.. ok… how do I look like now…. that nurse is staring at my eyeball.. hmmm… weird feeling…”

Thanks Shinagawa for making it such wonderful experience for me (besides my own psychological effect of the EYEBALL thingy *hair stand* but actually nothing one. Just trying to entertain myself so that I wont fall asleep. Slept at 230 AM was out playing pool with Mr K. HUrhur..) Instructions very clear…. Thumbs up!

Vision now.. still bit like just woke up.. eye’s messy lots of liquid. abit sticky cos they dries up.. BUT DONT GO RUB IT.. leave it.

Ok ba.. talk on MSN. And yes, Im on MC tomorrow and day after. -.-”
