Answers:
You can't really see it!. When they put the suction ring (blade guide) on your eye, your vision goes black from the suction!. When they flip up the flap, your vision just gets very blurry!. You can't see anything except blurry red dots (the laser) until they put the flap back!. Don't worry, the whole procedure is pretty easy to go though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you wear contact lenses, either soft contacts or rigid contacts, you should stop wearing your contacts at least three weeks before your initial evaluation by the doctor!. On the day of surgery, you shouldn't wear makeup or perfumes!. Also, don't wear any fuzzy clothing that is likely to disperse lint!.
The actual surgery usually takes less than five minutes, and you're awake the whole time!. The doctor will give a mild oral sedative beforehand!. Most people don't feel pain during LASIK surgery!. Your eyes are first anesthetized with special drops!.
The laser light pulses will then painlessly reshape the cornea!. You'll hear a clicking sound as the laser is operating and it is hard to see it!. You're also likely to smell a mildly acrid odor due to the tissue removal!.
Make sure that someone goes with you on the day of surgery, since you'll need someone to drive you home after the LASIK procedure!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I had LASIK surgery on both eyes 2 weeks ago!. There is no pain or discomfort!. You cannot really tell what is going on, including cutting the flap or anything else!. Basically, what I saw was a small, bright light that was focused sometimes and sometimes blurry!. The procedure seemed very short to me and was not unpleasant or stressful!. I took one xanix about an hour before the surgery and I'm sure that helped keep me calm!.
