CJ’s Lasik Surgery [SPONSORED CONTENT]

I had my Lasik Surgery at Francis Eye & Laser Center in early November.

So this is my story.  I'm extremely near-sighted.  I've worn glasses since I was 7, and they were always very thick.  Even with the special, ultra-thin "high index" lenses, they were still thick!  Not anymore though.  I had Lasik at Francis Eye & Laser Center in the Utica Business Park.  Before the surgery date, I had a couple appointments - the initial consultation to determine if I was a good candidate, and exactly what outcome I could expect.  And then a follow up appointment to discuss the prescriptions that I would need for before and after the surgery.

Finally it was surgery day.  The staff at Francis Eye & Laser really makes you feel comfortable and at ease in the lobby.  They even put out snacks and beverages to munch on while you wait.  Once I was in the room, it was so easy and painless.  There's the initial incision, which barely feels like anything more than a little pressure.  Then the actual laser.  I've heard the horror stories - you have to stare directly at the light and can't move or blink.  It was easier than you think though.  I didn't think they had even started, and the next thing I knew, Dr. Francis said it was all done!  Here are some pictures from the day of the surgery.  I'll be sharing more about the surgery, so check back soon!
