Lasik Eye Check Up

I went for an eye check up at Optimax on Tuesday to test for the suitability of my eye for the conventional lasik. And had my eyes probed, photographed, blown, and anaestised so that the doctor could measure my corneal thickness with a metal probe and eye pressure. And my pupils were dilated, which had the side effect of having presbytoria, or 'san kuang'. Which irritated the hell out of me, as I could not read properly and normal sun light hurt my eyes. Now I understand the feeling of hopelessness old folks feel when they start losing their sight to presbytoria.

In the end, I was told to go for LASEK instead of LASIK, as my eyesight was really bad, a result from watching too much porn reading too much during my younger days. Probably will make a trip to Tan Tock Seng hospital, where they have much more advanced lasers that will cut less corneal tissues compared to the Nidek lasers at Optimax.

When the tremors were felt in Singapore, my younger brother's bed shook. He quickly got out of the room, his face white, shouting that his bed shook. He thought that there was a ghost in the room. Until I told him that my bed shook too, and it was probably a slight earthquake somewhere else. I was so tired out from the day's activities that I decided to just stay put and slept like a log.
