Huh! I’d totally forgotten I’d reviewed this for Kittysneezes! Check it out. It stands to reason I would though, considering I did write a Fluffy Pony story based on it…

So yesterday I got LASIK…
Lasik, or Laser-Assisted in situ Keratomileusis, is commonly known as Laser Eye Surgery.
Yesterday, I received this surgery.
Here’s a quick little info tidbit before I describe my experience. 20/20 vision is described as “You are able to read something from 20 feet away that a person with perfect vision would have to be 20 feet away to see.” 20/40 means you have to be 20 feet away from an object that a person with perfect vision would only have to be 40 feet away from to see.
The scale goes up to 20/800, meaning if you had that you would have to be within 20 feet to clearly see an object visible to a normal person from 800 feet away.
Before yesterday, my vision on this scale was ‘Count Fingers’. This means my vision was so bad it was unable to be compared to a normal person’s vision. I was legally blind.
Today I type this with 20/20 vision, unassisted by glasses or contacts of any kind. My own physical eyes themselves are seeing perfectly, and the surgery itself took about 5 minutes.
Okay, here’s how it went:
Thanks so much for actually talking about what you saw! I’ve always been curious about this because I am likewise incredibly phobic about touching my eyes. So yeah… it always seemed that people kind of glossed over this part, so I always wondered.
And now I am EVEN MORE TERRIFIED. At least my eye doctor says my eyes are actually too bad for LASIK, so…
…yay?
Don’t trust your eye doctor- get a free consultation.
The technology gets newer every single day. Five years ago my eyes would have been disqualified too but I was able to get what’s now known as “Custom Wavefront LASIK”. They removed a larger surface area of my cornea, but cut a much thinner flap to do so. (instead of just over my pupil, they went over my iris too).
Pretty much anyone can get it now save for a few rare cases.
It was a few years ago — but my eye doctor’s actually a surgeon too, so yeah. (That’s how bad off I am — I have to go to a Big Time Eye Doctor. My eyesight is TERRIBLE — without my glasses, I have about a range of… jeez, maybe 3 inches of clear vision? — and I’m at high risk for glaucoma.) But… that said, I think it may have BEEN about 5 years ago he told me that, so you might be right.
I have to say, I kinda wonder if there’s a way they can… knock you out for it. Because yeah, that seems pretty scary.

Equestria Girls Trailer
While we wait for more info to come out of Equestria L.A, have the Equestria Girls trailer. Courtesy of The New York Times.
whoa
whoaaa
I don’t know if this is because of seeing new mlp content or whatever, I still have my qualms about it but whoa, my curiosity (and hype!?) just went up a notch seeing the trailer
I must be a disappointment to y’all nutty FiM fans haw
I had the same reaction — it… wasn’t… terrible. I’m not 100% sure (and the one Boy Character that Twi hugs makes me a little leery of a ROMANTIC SUBPLOT DUN DUN DUNNNNNN) but yeah, the designs actually… kinda-sorta work animated like that? I don’t know. I doubt I’ll pay for this and just wait for the Hub to run it, but hey.
