Diegle Family Blog: SHE CAN SEE!

I am happy to report that Kris finally gets to check off one MAJOR event from her "bucket list": LASIK eye surgery! Today at 2pm I drove Kris to Scottsdale where we met Dr. Kahn. You would think after all she has been through this past couple months that she would be nervous, but in fact she was simply excited...as was I.

By 3pm she had been fully prepped with a gamut of eye drops and was booted and netted for action. I was exstatic about the fact this particular office openly displays their surgical room! I got to watch from just a few feet and some glass away! AMAZING! The process takes around 20mins. and is simply magical to watch.

Here is the basic rundown of the Lasik process:

-Lay down and have your eye just about sucked out of your head.

-While trying to keep your eye in your head they zap it with something that cuts a "C" shape in around the coloring. Something call a "flap" is the result.

-After it looks like they burned all of the eye, they stick a metal pick in under the burned skin and peel it back like skinning a grape.

-The Dr. puts what appears to be a yellow/orange wood stain around your eyes.

-At this point, I asked for a vomit bowl.

-Now, the Dr. projects some sort of crop circle type of image on her eyeballs and yells "Everyone, stand back!".

-Loud noises and blinding lights flash violently around the entire room.

-Within a short amount of time the noises and bright lights shining into Kris' eyes ceases.

-Kris sits up and vulua; PERFECT VISION! ;o)

Okay, so maybe that isn't exact...but pretty close from my view. Bottom line is Kris has beautiful eyes and we no longer need to view them through a lense, of any type.
