My eyes have just about
healed from my operation now, which is why I haven't posted on here
in a while. They have been incredibly sensitive to light and even
with the brightness turned down fully on my computer monitor, I still
had to wear sunglasses in order to see without squinting! I am a lot
better now, I am off my medicated eye drops and only have to use the
“fake tears” drops when my eyes go dry. The only remnants of the
surgery is a blood splodge on each eye where the “hinge” of my
lense was and a semi-circle of pink under my eyelids from the
machinery.
I think I underestimated how much time I would need to get
over my operation, I thought I would be OK the day after and I wasn't
worried at all, so I had the operation the day before my parents went
on holiday. My boyfriend had to stay with me for about a week to look
after me instead as I kept walking into and tripping over things, I
felt like such an invalid!
The operation itself was pretty traumatic,
I don't actually think I have been so terrified in my life, as I am
generally quite brave when it comes to medical things. I went blind
for a few seconds which scared the hell out of me and then once I
could see again, everything was incredibly blurry (this must have
been when my lenses were removed) so I didn't know what was going on.
I was then asked to stare at what I can only describe as a load of
miniature disco rave lights, and I could hear a loud ticking noise
and smell burning. Once that was over my lense was obviously replaced
as I could see a bit better than before and noticed a plastic trowel
type tool being scraped over my eyeballs. Once that was done, it was
all over, I must have only been in there for about 2 minutes, but it
was horrible!
I am definitely glad I went through that though as I
CAN FINALLY SEE!!
This will last me for the rest of my life until I
get properly old and my vision deteriorates like everyone else's. I
have wanted laser eye surgery since I first heard about it when I was
in my early teens, I have had bad eyes since I was very little and it
has always been an annoyance, but now I am finally normal! (sort
of...) I am very happy with my vision now, and I would definitely
recommend the operation to other's with bad eyes. It is very scary
when it's happening but it's only for a few minutes and you don't
even feel anything because of the anaesthetic eye drops.
So yes, I am
happy so EVERYBODY DANCE NOW!

Aaaanyway..
unfortunately I have had to postpone my Joker's Hideout project
because of my surgery and I will have to postpone it further as I
have been set some Visual Design projects to do. I'm not very happy
about this as I would much rather teach myself more about UDK and I
hate that I have missed my self set deadline but I HAVE to do these
projects. I will definitely carry on with my Joker Project in the
near future, once I have got these additional projects out of the
way.
