something new on the North East line

You all heard about how train commuters pretend to fail asleep in their seats when they see pregnant women or elderly people standing in front of them.

Hopefully, these extra large signs will teach them a thing or two. The funny thing is: NOW these seats are actually reserved for them and not like getting people to voluntarily giving up seats
And when i mean extra large, i mean really really large sign

my world after lasik

It's been almost a week since moi did the epi lasik and my eyesight is still not perfect.
In fact, my surrounding looks pretty fuzzy right now

The computer screen looks fuzzy
Tom's face looks fuzzy

And did i mentioned that moi had to drop like 4 DIFFERENT eyedrops every 3hourly for the past 6days?!?! The sheer bitterness of the eyedrops going down my throat is enough to make me gag :(
Jany taught moi this trick she learned from Randy: To prevent the eyedrops from going down your throat, press down the area between your eyes and your nosebridge for a minute.
i have to say: IT TOTALLY DOESNT WORK!!!! Hmphff

So anyway, back to my fuzzy eyesight. That's the down side of EPI-LASIK. It has a slower visual recovery of about 1-2 weeks and the discomfort of tearing eyes for about 2 days. Unlike the traditional Lasik, whereby the operation is done in the morning, and by night, BANG! your vision is almost perfect.

On the other hand, epi lasik do away with cutting a flap on your cornea so the risk of flap infection is practically a BIG ZERO!

So what's epi lasik?
well, from Eagle Eye Centre webbie (where i did my epi lasik btw)
Epi-LASIK, the “skin” of the cornea, known as the epithelium, is separated with a special epi-keratome, and the eximer laser is applied onto the underlying surface of the cornea (hence, another term “surface ablation”).
Unlike LASIK, the procedure doesn’t require a cornea flap which “uses-up” tissue. As a result, the procedure helps to save on cornea tissue utilisation and is ideal for patients who have corneas too thin to be treated by LASIK. Furthermore, this procedure removes all risks of flap related complications seen in LASIK.

Alot of technical words in the above paragraph but basically, the skin of your cornea is separated, the laser is applied and pesto, Perfect eyesight!!!

Although my eyesight is far from perfect -_-
Alright, i shouldn't complain that much... Its definitely much better now than before. At lest now, moi wake up in the morning and i could ACTUALLY SEE my surrounding. Moi could even make up the embroidery pattern on the bedroom curtain if i kinda stare hard enough.

That's enough to make me happy!

And the staff at the clinic actually took a picture of moi (Before the operation of cos) and put it in this nice little plastic frame as a souvenir which was really sweet

Yeap! That's me!!!


So perfect eyesight soon...i hope
