Lasik....botched

Unfortunately, my operation was not successful today. The doctor was not able to create a smooth flap on my first eye, the right eye and the operation has to be aborted.

I was to undergo an custom lasik with blade. I guess I'm the 1% of the unlucky people who have complications. A microkeratome is supposed to be at least 99% successful while intralasik is closer to 100%.

The flap was put back into my eye and a contact lense was placed on it to protect it and promote healing. The contact lense will be in my right eye for about a week before it will be removed.

I am told that I'll have a full refund. The flap will take at least 3-4 months to heal before any eye procedure can be done on it. Hopefully I'll be able to go back to my contact lenses in a month's time. And hopefully no other complications will happen.

Currently, my right eye can still see reasonably and I'm still wearing my glasses. However, there's quite a bit of irritation on my right eye which I hope will get better real soon. Let's see how it goes when I go back for my checkup tomorrow.
