Overall, I am pleased with my experience with Boston Vision LASIK surgery was something I was looking forward to for a few years. Finally, I received a vote of confidence from my optometrist (not at Boston Vision) and they highly recommended I go to Boston Vision. After an initial, long consult at their Malden office, I was scheduled for surgery at their Brookline office, as they said this was the only office that performed surgery on Fridays. Leading up to the appointment, I was not too nervous. I had all of my questions answered ahead of time, so my mood was more excited than anything. Once there, they performed a quick check of my eyes and I waited no more than 10 minutes to be seen by their staff. Initially, I was led to a room where they checked my eyes once more, previewed the upcoming procedure, and offered me a Xanax to calm my nerves. Then, Dr. Brenner arrived to check my eyes once more. By this point, this felt a little tedious, but better safe than sorry, I suppose. Everything looked good to him, so we waited a short time (assumably for the Xanax to kick in) and then I was led to the operating room. In the OR, you will be asked to lay flat on your back, while their staff plays whatever music you would like. This was a nice touch and helped to relax me. For the procedure, there was more discomfort than I anticipated. The suction necessary for the procedure did create a lot of pressure, causing blood vessels in my right eye to pop. However, the saving grace here is the procedure is very quick. As promised, it took around 15 minutes. Once it was over, I was escorted to a room across the hall where a doctor viewed my eyes to ensure the flap created during the surgery looked flat and settled. Everything looked good to them, so I was sent home. Once home, a strong burning sensation kicked in. It made it difficult to fall asleep for the recommended four hours, so I did take some melatonin. Once I woke up, the discomfort went down immensely. My left eye felt perfect and its vision was nearly as perfect. My right eye, however, felt scratchy, a bit dry, and cloudy. As expected, however, as it was still the same day as surgery. Even so, looking outside, my vision was the clearest I can remember it ever being. It was an emotional experience. I am on day four post-operation now. My left eye continues to feel great. However, my right eye still remains hazy and slightly irritated. I have a follow-up appointment with my optometrist tomorrow and I am curious what they will see. For now, I am looking forward to my eyes continuing to heal and seeing fully in 20/20 vision without cloudiness/haziness. Hopefully in the next few days!
