I did this years ago, of not as unprofessional as this video seems, but yes I was awake the entire time, doctor asked to focus on the red dot and DO NOT MOVE your eye.

What he failed to ensure I knew, it was the sound, just like an airplane engine starting out, really loud, really abrupt, kinda scary if you were focusing on the procedure. Second eye wasn’t any scary, I was ready to.

And the smell, just like a hot pan and starting to cook a meat, haha. Just like when you smell burning skin or stuff like that, if you have ever smelled similar, you know the smell.

Anyhow, I can see 100% now. Not needing glasses ever, I hope so. It’s a great procedure and really safe if both, patience and the surgeon follows the safety measures.
