Got dumped after lasik surgery

Part 2 of my lasik(SMILE Pro) journey with cleavision.

2/10 Edited to

... Read moreUndergoing Lasik SMILE Pro surgery is both an exciting and nerve-wracking experience, especially when combined with life’s emotional ups and downs. From my own journey, I learned several valuable lessons that I want to share for anyone preparing for or recovering from this procedure. Firstly, consistent use of prescribed eye drops is crucial. They help prevent dryness and support healing, even when you feel your eyes are already fine. Setting alarms for each drop can keep you on track, but life events might distract you, so try to prioritize this part of your recovery. Secondly, expect some temporary visual phenomena such as halos around lights, especially in low-light conditions. These can be scary at first but tend to fade within days as your eyes adjust. It helped me to remind myself that these symptoms were temporary and part of the healing process. Emotionally, recovery doesn’t only involve physical healing. I experienced an unexpected breakup right after my surgery, which added stress and tears. Interestingly, crying did not negatively affect my eye recovery, but it was important to maintain my eye care routine despite the emotional turmoil. Light physical activity can generally be resumed early, but be cautious and follow your surgeon's advice. Sunglasses provided by the clinic are essential for outdoor protection. Lastly, the improved vision after surgery is life-changing, but the psychological clarity that comes with it is something I didn’t anticipate. My experience was about seeing the world—and myself—more clearly, both literally and figuratively. Be prepared for a mix of physical and emotional adjustments, and reach out for support if things get tough during your recovery journey.
