Lasik eye surgery

So this last week i got Lasik eye surgery. It was pretty interesting. it only took a few minutes to do. the part where they actually laser'd my eye to adjust the "prescription" only took 15 seconds for each eye. That thursday i pretty much slept and listened to John Bytheway. Heres a picture of me and the goggles they gave me on the day of my surgery


Because my eyes are small and deep set, they had a hard time getting suction for a certain part of the surgery (i think to cut a flap of the cornea), they bruised my eyes and so i have (still) red spots around my eyes. It looks pretty freaky actually - like a zombie or a mad scientist. I am hoping to do a prank or two with them before they heal


If i do a scary face it is pretty frightening.
and i'll find out Thursday my actual eye quality. but i'm pretty sure i have at least 20/20. I can see better right now than i used to be able to with my contacts in.

No they do not hurt the least bit. I forget sometimes that i look freaky as i go about my day.

It's just that my eyes are small and got bruised from the suctioning. I don't think anyone noticed - the guy sat in the aisle seat and i slept most the flight. hehe.
