Lasik eye surgery

I got Lasik eye surgery yesterday. It's awesome. I can now see better than I could before with my contacts in and my vision is still supposed to be getting better in the coming weeks. I have to wear these awesome glasses for a month at night so I don't rub my eyes. It goes well with my mouth guard I wear at night so I don't grind my teeth. I have to wear lots of protection to keep me from hurting myself while I am asleep.



Below is a video of my surgery. It didn't hurt at all. Yes, I uploaded my first ever video to youtube. Hopefully it will be easier next time. Sorry no awesome music.

You jerks, it took forever to figure out how to put that video on youtube. On the bright side it does have 28 views thus far. I thought it was fun watching the surgery. Plus, seeing good is awesome.

The end

Matt, I am way jealous of you right now. Also, I would like to announce that I watched your video, it's true. Or I watched the one eye, I figured the second eye would be more of the same. Here is my summary of the video: At first you looked like the guy from A Clockwork Orange when they pry his eyes wide open, then you looked like the Terminator when they cut your eye open and your eye was all hollowed out and the red laser helped further the Terminator theme, then at the end the eye doctor was like Bob Ross when he poured all that stuff in your eye and was brushing your eye then dipping the brush in the stuff at the sides and brushing more on your eye canvas. Okay, see you at raquetball in a few hours, bye.

John, I think that was a good summary. Although I have never seen Clockwork Orange, I have seen the Terminator and Bob Ross. Yes you are right when you say the second eye was exactly the same. That would be weird if they did it different. I'll see you soon for racquetball, don't worry I'll be wearing my eye protection.
