After my PRK eye surgery on Tuesday, my mother drove me home. I didn't feel much of anything at this point. The valium that I had taken, mixed with the high levels of adrenaline my body had used, made me very relaxed and exhausted. So the painkiller and the sleeping pill that I was prescribed to take felt a little unnecessary. And after taping the eye shields onto my face (a rather unattractive look), they definitely did make me fall asleep quickly and deeply. The rest of the day after my eye surgery then was uneventful, painless and spent sleeping.

LASIK eye surgery or Laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a popular surgical approach used to correct vision in people who are have eye imperfections. What is usually done is that a laser is used to correct imperfections in the cornea. The laser can fix astigmatism, near and far sightedness among others.
