By Lauren C. San Francisco, CA 05/06/2008
My father and I both had our eyes done by Dr
Motwani. My father has a degenerative retinal condition so his
vision was never going to turn out perfectly, but he was still
happy enough with the results to recommend and pay for my
surgery. Dr. Motwani is pricey, but your eyes are not something
you economize on.
I'm pretty happy with my results. I was about 20/250 before and
now am 20/15 under ideal conditions. The surgery itself was a
breeze, not traumatic at all. There was zero pain associated
with the procedure. I did experience normal pain about an hour
afterwards and lasting about four hours. It felt something like
a sharp headache behind my eyes. They tell you to sleep for four
hours after your procedure and it would have been better if I
could, but the Tylenol PM they gave me wasn't nearly strong
enough to make me sleep at 11 am.
For about three months after the surgery my right eye was a
little funky but it settled down and is now fine. It does annoy
me that my right eye used to be sharper but now my left is. It
took my brain a while to adjust to that. I also get a small
amount of glare when watching tv from too far away at night, but
I shouldn't be doing that anyways.
The small issues I've had don't compare to the quality of life
improvements. Being able to see when I wake up, not worrying
about losing my glasses during an accident or earthquake, seeing
my feet in the shower, not having to deal with contacts, etc.
I'm still looking forward to swimming in the ocean and being
able to see things. One funny thing- I realized after having the
surgery that I had been blaming my bad vision for not being able
to see at night only to realize that it had more to do with the
darkness. Lasik does not give you night vision, apparently.
Lasik isn't for everyone. There are new concerns about the
numbers of people who are plagued by glare and other problems. I
wouldn't want the responsibility of recommending Lasik to
anyone. But if you have already decided for yourself that you
want Lasik, I would definitely recommend Dr. Motwani.
