    Default I can see and it sucks

    Just felt like whining. I had laser eye surgery a few days ago and it went great, 20/20 vision and all. I expected to take about two days off of work. I feel fine, and everyone I spoke to said it should be alright to go into work after two days (I said there were lots of flashing lights and a strobe).

    I went in last night and, before getting dressed, another girl suggested I should try sitting in tip row without my ugly sunglasses and see how that felt before getting on the floor. I didn't even make it that far. It was like I was on drugs. All the lights starred out, had horrible halos, and left some trails when I turned. A regular came up gave me hug, asked how I was, and asked why my eyes were glowing green.

    Yep, I was a genuine green eyed monster (I think it was the anti-inflammatory drops I need to use and I can't rinse out). I darted back to the dressing room, told my manager I needed to go and headed out.

    I need to use those drops for another 3 days and I was told the majority of the halo effect would take a week to two to go away. Now, I have no idea how long I need to take off.

    So I feel perfectly fine, can see 20/20, but I can't stand bright flashing lights, and my eyes glow green under black light... and it sucks.

    No idea how long. I suppose I can take a week and a half off if I need to.

    Be careful and take care of your eyes. It would suck to have to do it again.

    *laughs* i had my eyes done a few years ago, and the glow is definitely the antiinflammatory drops - i had the good sense to take them with me to a club one night shortly after the procedure, and put them in while i was there

    at the time, i was working in a very dusty/dirty environment (vet clinic = cat hair everywhere) so i opted to take a full two weeks off to make sure that i was well healed before i went back to work...no paycheque on earth would have been worth permanently damaging my eyes, especially so soon after spending the money to get them fixed...

    the stars and halos will get better pretty quickly, although i still get them around REALLY bright lights if it's also really dark out...

    if you can afford to take a little bit of extra time off without having to worry too much about it, you probably should

    Girl, r ya kidding me? ;-) I'm glad I wasn't stripping when I had mine! I could not watch TV for a month, I worked in a hotel and even the hallway us employees used, the lighting always made me depressed, well that shit was like a club and I had to take frequent breaks just to sit down and close my eyes for 10 minutes! I cannot imagine a club!

    Yea it was a lame n long recovery period...but in the future you will forget these lost earnings, and it's a great investment obviously. Before, I was popular for having glasses, but I was always the girl w the glasses. (Sexy as hell they were tho!) but being more "universally accepted" has made it much better, and I can joke when they are so shocked that I'm a dork after talking to me: "Come on!! I used to wear glasses ferchrissakes! Now do you believe me?"

    Congratulations!

    The dancer that I know who had it done kept having to abandon the club because of the smoke irritation.
