what does lasik eye surgery feel like?

Q. i am 22, and have been wearing glasses since i was 8. however, my eyes haven't changed much in the past few years, so my eyesight will be stabilizing soon. i would like to get lasik eye surgery eventually, and i wanted to know what it feels like. my dad had it done 10 years ago and he said that it felt like someone had put out cigars on his eyeballs.... but it's been 10 years, technology has become more advanced, so i'd like to know how it would feel.

i do have a pretty good pain tolerance, but i can handle pain better when i know what to expect.

A. Hi. I had it done a couple of years ago. I think everyone feels something different. A lady I chatted to in the waiting room felt nothing, I could feel the cold air of the suction cup coming down to hold the eye before cutting the flap and afterwards I felt the surgeon 'smoothing' the top of the eye down. It did not hurt. I was more nervous than anything. You can see all sorts of strange lights while it's going on, too. Recovery took longer than I expected. It was fairly uncomfortable for the rest of the day but improved by the hour. Getting the drops in at first was tricky - but it was worth it. By tea time I could see the TV! I was 48 when I had it done and wish I had had it done years ago. Check out www.myeyebook.co.uk and good luck!
