Every Wednesday I like to get a hole bored through my eye with a laser, so today I did my left one. I wasn't even a little anxious this time, after last week's relatively easy experience.
I told Dr. Hung that last time my pupil was still constricted well into the next day. He said that was normal for young people. I said, "Young?! Bless you, Dr. Hung!" He laughed and said, "Karen, most of my patients are in their 90s!"
He also said that my procedures were even quicker than some because I have light eyes; dark irises are denser to bore through. Live and learn.
Glad things seem to be going OK so far.

I could have hppily gone through life without ever reading, "dark irises are denser to bore through," but no.
And me with my dark brown eyes.

At least I didn't mention the part about fluid gushing out after he'd made the hole. Oops.

If that's the way you like to spend Wednesdays, I have some bad news Karen, you are all out of eyes. I'm glad it went well!

I'm glad you're through it! Is that true about the 'fluid gushing'? Poor Karen!

OK! It does make me a bit squeamish (especially after reading your unfortunate comment above...the gushing thing...), but if I'm ever to seriously consider having Lasik surgery, I guess I need to buck up.

I don't know anything about Lasik. It may be more painful and take longer OR the exact opposite.
