【被軟體工程師耽誤的歌手】雷射手術3年後 術後心得經驗分享

Hi YouTube, it's Terry

This week I had a laser surgery for about 3 years. As a software engineer, I work in front of the computer every day for 15 hours. Today I want to share with you my experience of laser surgery and my post-surgical experience after 3 years. If you are considering whether to do a laser surgery or you are worried that you will work in front of the computer for a long time and your surgery will be deepened,

I hope this video can give you some ideas Of course, these are all my own experiences and results It doesn't mean that you will be like me after the surgery Then you have to say why I wanted to do this laser surgery three years ago You know, every time you take a shower, you look down and you look like a blur It's like something is hitting the massage chair I really want to look down one day and see the appearance of the blue sky, white clouds, big ponds, and the group of flying and color-chained heroes

To be honest, I really like outdoor activities. Like playing basketball, camping, hiking, and playing in the wild. They are all my specialties. My eyes are super dry. I started wearing glasses when I was in high school. I could wear them for a long time. Sometimes I wore them for 12 hours. Sometimes I forgot to take them off and went to bed. After graduating from college, I started to feel that my eyes couldn't handle the dryness of the glasses.

And then after two or three hours, I felt super dry. Sometimes when I put it on for one or two hours, I started to feel dry. It's like the eyes are begging you to please take that thing down. Let me breathe, let me breathe. And I'm the kind of person who's super lazy.

Every time I go out, I forget to bring eye drops and glasses. Sometimes I forget to bring my glasses. Sometimes I go out for dinner and go to my friend's house for the night. Or go out for fun and suddenly go to someone else's house for the night. This kind of thing happens very often. So as long as you go to someone else's house for the night, you will find that you forgot to bring something. I forgot to bring this and that. It's super troublesome. I hate wearing glasses.

But I'm not the type of person who wears a mirror-like glasses. Anyway, it was because of a lot of reasons. I started to get in touch with laser surgery. My left and right eyes were about 500-600 degrees. I happened to have a colleague who just finished the laser surgery. He told me every day at work, "Terry, the surgery is super simple and super easy." I can see it clearly now.

I saw her there everyday, not wearing glasses, watching YouTube, and then surfing Facebook. I was like "oh shit" I was so envious. And then my ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex ex

I didn't check online to see which clinic is better or which doctor's evaluation is better. I just looked at the information of the clinic recommended by my colleagues, and then I probably looked at the evaluation online and then I immediately made an appointment for a door surgery. So if you want to do laser surgery, I would recommend that you must go online to see the comparison of different clinics, and everyone's evaluation, and the evaluation of the doctor, or if you have any relatives and friends who recommend you some doctors or clinics that are better,

Those are all very reliable information After all, traditional laser surgery is basically an impossible surgery So it's best to do it once Believe me, you won't want to do it again I dare to think about it now, three years ago, I was really super energetic Because the eyes are actually very important to the process If it's not done well, I really can only turn it into a fortune-telling day and night Follow me home world peace

I had my laser surgery at a clinic in downtown Toronto called LASIK MD. It was probably one of the largest laser surgeries in Toronto. I thought about going to Taiwan or Japan. I heard that the CP of laser surgeries in Japan is really high. Because the price is not expensive, and the doctors are very detailed, and the equipment is the latest. But considering that I need to get a second surgery after the surgery, I decided to choose a clinic that is closer to my home.

I will do some basic check before surgery to see if your eye fat has fluctuated in the past few months. Usually, when you reach 24 or 25 years old, your eye fat will not change much. I haven't changed my glasses since I was 20 years old. The eye fat has remained at about 500-600 degrees. After that, he will measure how dry your eyes are and then measure how thick your foot is.

Because the traditional lens laser surgery is actually to cut a curve on your ankle. It's a bit like putting your glasses on your ankle. So if your ankle is not thick enough, the doctor won't let you do this surgery. At that time, my ankle was still thicker than the average person. If I remember correctly, it was about 595mm. So the doctor recommended that I use a traditional half-sleeve knife to make a half-sleeve.

instead of using the new one, the full-blown laser surgery. I thought to myself, "Why did they recommend this old, traditional technique instead of the latest one?" The doctor told me that the results of both techniques were the same. This is also the regretful part of my life.

Because the price is actually the same. Since you have to do such an important surgery, of course, use the latest technology. I recommend you over there. If you want to do this surgery, don't choose a cheaper solution because you want to save money. Maybe not necessarily use the latest technology, but the best technology recommended by the most mature doctor. I have checked a lot of data and documents after myself. I found that modern semi-models are already very good. Compared to the past, the failure rate is very low.

And it's actually the same as the machine's non-skeleton surgery. But I think the machine is still more accurate than people. The surgery is about 10 minutes in total. Your eyes will be anesthetized before you go in. And then you go in. You're going to lie down under the machine. And then the doctor will start using his half-skeleton. Help me make a half-skeleton.

After the surgery, the doctor will pull the ankle membrane open. You will see a transparent layer of open skin. If you are doing a non-surgical surgery, this process is almost the same. It's just that the membrane is made by the machine, not by hand. When the membrane is finished, the doctor will start to set up the machine. You will see a cross in front of you. The doctor will ask you to stare at the cross.

After that, you will hear the machine honk and start to remove your foot. It will determine how much of your foot will be removed based on your height and weight. The higher your height, the more foot you need to remove. This is why people with high-density vision are not suitable for traditional laser surgery. When I was in the operating room, I was actually quite nervous. I was thinking, "If the doctor is wrong, or if he is working on the machine, what should I do?"

After the checkup, the doctor asked me to go outside and rest. After 5-10 minutes of rest, the nurse came to check my eyes. Then I went in to see the doctor. The doctor did the final checkup. After the checkup, everything was fine. He gave me some eye drops and a list. It said what time to order eye drops. The next week, I had to order eye drops according to the time table. Then I came back. The whole process was very smooth.

I felt like I was on the production line and everyone who wanted to be a laser was the unfinished product Then the doctor did the standard SOP after each production line After finishing the cut, after hitting, I gave you some water to drink and then you can go home In fact, this is one of the reasons why I regretted not going to see other hospitals afterwards Because it made me feel that the doctor did not particularly care about this patient, but quickly let you finish it and change the next person to come up

And the doctor who took care of me after that wasn't the doctor who helped me with the surgery. After the surgery, I was very, very careful. And after the facial wash, my hands were super light. I didn't dare to touch my eyes. And I instantly changed the bad habit of rubbing my eyes. Because after the laser surgery, your foot massage within three months is when you are in the recovery. You must not rub your eyes. As long as you rub your eyes, it is easy for you to rub your feet. There is no way to fully recover.

And left eye is a bad habit. I haven't rubbed my eyes for three years. After about two or three weeks, I found that my eye level did not completely change. The right eye is actually fine. The left eye is still about 100 degrees and a little bit of flash. I thought at that time, "Wow, this is too fat." I spent $5,000 plus coins and didn't do it once. Now I may have to do the second surgery.

The only thing I could see was the left eye's vision was not completely corrected. The right eye's vision was almost recovered. So I didn't have much problems with my work and driving. But there was a very obvious difference in vision between the left and right eyes. So I felt very uncomfortable. But then I thought, "I'll wait another two months." The vision should be completely recovered. It may take up to three months.

After 4 months of surgery, my vision has not been affected much. But it's still the same as before. I just finished the surgery and my eyes are about 100 degrees. The doctor told me that this kind of thing is not very common. But there are still a lot of people who need to do the second adjustment after the surgery. Like me.

So if you want to do laser surgery, you need to be prepared. I saw a lot of people on the Internet saying that if your degree is higher, the higher the probability of your first surgery being less accurate. At that time, the doctor recommended that I do both left and right eyes once. Because my right eye still has about 50 degrees of unlighted degree. I finally thought about it for a long time. I decided to adjust my left eye first. Then see the recovery situation and decide whether to move the right eye. Because the right eye has very little left over. I think it can actually be moved. The doctor finally told me that in fact, whether you move your right eye or not,

So I was just messing around with my left eye and this is what happened. The surgery was different this time. He opened the half-mode that was almost ready and the machine was a little bit laser-ed into it. It's a bit of an exaggeration that the doctor is a completely different person. So after the second surgery on my left eye, it took about a week and my vision slowly recovered. Then I slowly found that my left eye vision is better than my right eye vision.

I was like, "Am I going to have my right eye operated again?" The difference between left and right eye is not that big. The doctor told me that you can do it or not. It depends on whether you want to do it or not. They are all conservative.

Alright, now I've been doing laser surgery for 3 years. I had a retinal surgery before the epidemic and then went to check for my eyesight. The result is that my left eye has basically no vision and my right eye still has about 50 degrees of vision left. Basically, my eyesight has not changed much in the past 3 years. Although I watch 15 hours in front of the computer every day, it can be said that this surgery is not in vain. But some of the common side effects after laser surgery I still have to this day.

First, your eyes will get tired easily. After getting tired, your eyes will feel dry. This is my own feeling. Sometimes, when I work until midnight, my eyes are really tired and need to rest. At this time, my eyes will be super dry. Or I use my eyes all day long, and my eyes will tell me slowly, "Oh, your eyes are starting to dry. Remember to rest." Actually, these are all fine. Because normally, under normal eye conditions, there will not be this feeling. It's really like me, after using my eyes crazily, I will slowly feel this feeling of dryness. So I can actually accept this aspect.

The first is the left eye that I moved twice. When the light is weak at night, it is easier to see the reflection in the room. Especially when looking at white or red light, with a black background, the reflection will be slightly more obvious.

But this situation has not caused much impact on my life Because in fact, in the daytime, under the condition of light and shadow, the symptoms of this shadow are not very obvious. Plus your big brain is actually quite amazing. When he is helping you to do imaging Because your right eye is more normal He will help you remove this abnormal shadow So the last image you see is actually relatively better It's more obvious that I'm going to cover my right eye And then when you go to see something with your left eye, the shadow will be a little bit more obvious

I'm used to this kind of symptom because most of the time it's daytime or at night when you work indoors the lights are quite bright and when the lights are on at night, usually this time you just sleep or what else do you do?

The third side effect is that I have a weaker night vision. I can see everything clearly in the daytime. Sometimes I wake up and doubt myself. I can see everything clearly. But I'm a little weaker at night. I have to be careful when driving. I feel that my vision is a little slower when I switch scenes at night. These are not particularly obvious. But you can feel that there is still a difference.

To sum up today's content, I've been enjoying the fact that I don't need to bring my glasses. I can see everything clearly anytime, anywhere. And I don't need to bring any ordinary things to go out or anywhere to spend the night. I feel very comfortable when I think about it. I've been using my eyes a lot these three years, and I haven't saved them. It's probably the three years I've used my eyes the most in my life.

Actually, the vision is not much improved. I am quite surprised. But I also heard that some people have a relapse after a year or two after surgery. So before doing laser surgery, you must make sure that your vision has not changed much in the past few months or even a year or two. It's relatively stable. Otherwise, you may do it for nothing after the surgery. Or you may have to do the second adjustment. That's not worth it.

Overall, I am not satisfied with the experience of this Dormendo clinic. The main reason is that I had to do two surgeries on my left eye. Then I didn't adjust my right eye a little bit. The most important thing is that I didn't feel how serious I was treated during the process. So I actually regret that I sent myself to the operating room so quickly. I didn't spend much time to research and search to see if there were other clinics or better doctors.

But there's nothing to complain about. I did it, but no one knew. If I went to another clinic, the result would be worse. If I could go back to three years ago, I would still have the surgery. Because the convenience it brought me was much greater than the inconvenience it brought me with these small side effects. But three years ago, I would have found a better doctor. I can trust the clinic to do this surgery.

Overall, I think laser is worth doing. But before you do it, you must do your homework. Find a good doctor. He will recommend a surgery that suits you. Don't push yourself to the operating table like me. I actually spent a lot of time online to read a lot of articles. Academic research and professional research after surgery. But these are all after I had surgery. It's actually a bit late. Don't be as stupid as me.

Finally, I want to clarify that these are all my own experiences and sharing. I am not a doctor, so you still have to listen to the doctor's professional knowledge to make decisions.
