But it didn't work. When they were cutting the flap I could feel it and it hurt so my eye tried to close and it moved the suction ring out of place. It was over right then and there. THAT SUCKS!!! I still have to do all the drops and crap like I had it but I can't try again for 3 months! I am SO PISSED OFF! I got up at 5:30 on a Saturday for nothing. And now I am sensitive to light and my eye hurts and I still need glasses.
Sorry. I had to vent. I am pissed off.

I'm guessing they used the "numbing" drops and those didn't work on you? I had the Lasik procedure and fortunately had no complications at all. I went back for one "adjustment" and was fine.
Since I've had the procedure, I've been interested in the advances of nearsightedness correction. It seems to change every year with new equipment and procedures becoming FDA approved frequently. Here's the most recent advance that I'm aware of.
http://www.intralasefacts.com/Apparently, they don't use a blade to cut the flap. They use a faster laser (more "pulses" per second) that's able to create the flap using laser bursts. The doctor then peels back the flap simply and gently by just seperating the tissue.
May or may not be an option for you. Just thought I'd offer.
Have patience J_K_M_A_N. Soon you will be able to:
o stand over a pot of boiling water and still see
o see the soap residue in your shower (not necessarily a good thing if you clean as often as a bachelor does)
o walk in the rain
o wake up and see the clock across the room
o see under water with perfect clarity
