laser eye surgery is it painful

Laser eye surgery?

Do you actually feel anything during laser eye surgery? Is it painful at all and is it possible to have it done even with an astigmatism?

They do numb your eye with a needle. It may be slightly painful afterwards depending on which surgery you get. There are two:
~lasik : small cut in your eye, creating a flap and they reshape your cornea with a laser to your desired specifications. Has the best recovery time. Least pain. Not accepted by the DoD for flight training.
~PRK : no cutting. Laser “shaves” off front of cornea to get desired vision. 2-3 days recovery. Slight pain, feels like you’re looking through smoke for 2 days or your eyes itch. Accepted by DoD for flight training.

That’s all I know. ^_^
