Once the ten days were up, we went to the hospital to get a whole battery of eye-tests done on my eyes. We landed in the morning around 9.00a and were told that the tests would take a bit longer than than half a day (it wound up taking more than that).
AIE has streamlined the testing process a lot. The test themselves did not take too long - but sometimes the waiting did, thanks to the huge crowds. They ran a whole series of tests - I really don't remember what they were. But none of them were uncomfortable or painful.
Finally, around some 3.00p in the afternoon, we were told that I was a good candidate for Lasik surgery. I was to report at the hospital at 9.00a the next morning. After some final tests, the actual surgery would be done. I could probably be heading back home after surgery later in the noon.
Phew - I was actually going to get the surgery done? Wow!
That evening, everything went normally. No one at my house was unduly anxious or perturbed. I did a last google check to hunt down news of anyone who became blind after getting lasik done - but nopes, couldn't find anything. Oh well, worst case was not going to happen then - I was good!
That night I slept quite well, not excited but wondering curiously if that day had really been my last day of wearing spectacles.
