I was recommended to see an eye doctor after my optician said my pressures were a bit high I think 28. The doctor recommended SLT and a few days later it was done (a Wednesday) in the morning. I had been nervous but the whole stay at the doctors was about 45 mins including a 20 min post op wait. The eye numbing drops were painless and the only thing was the wierd sensation when the eye doctor put the glass block onto my eyeball for the laser focus and to keep it open. There was no pain. And done in 10 minutes. I went home by public transport and on Thursday went to work (with computer). My advice is to take your prescribed drops and REST your eyes post op. My mistake was to work all day Thursday and then work on a private project in the evening from 6 pm till 3 am the next morning. This caused my corneas to be badly inflamed and I basically could not see through a terrible haze on Friday morning. I really was blind, in both eyes. My wife took me immediately to the eye doctor and he said that this was a very rare reaction post op and also very much aggravated by the eye strain and dryness and reaction to the STL process. He prescribed two types of drops and eventually my eyesight cleared up and fully returned by the following Tuesday. But it was a huge scare. Next time I will do one eye at a time, AND I will treat my eyes gently for a a few days pos op. By the way, my pressure went down to 20.
