hey it's me Destin I had LASIK surgery
here and some random doctor's office I'm
not going to tell you which one it is
but anyway LASIK surgery went well and I
recorded it
what kind of recorded the video playing
of it so here it is check it out I'll
give you some commentary and I can see
really good now by the way it was my
LASIK all right so I decided to give you
the doctors point of view so this is my
eye upside down
the doctor is it I guess up to the
doctor is towards my mouth I guess my
forehead is down below the screen this
is the worst part of the whole thing
right here they put the super clamp oh
medic iOpener 3000 on you here and this
is a little uncomfortable that's the
only bad part about it I mean the rest
the surgery is no big deal but this is
just so strange you don't really know
what to do so they put this on you and
they say hey look at this is a little
blinky dot there's this little blinky
dot target that you're supposed to stare
at and there you go that's all you do so
you look at that dot like there's no
tomorrow
and then then this happens they clamp
you down and they put a little force on
your eye holding it still so that gets
you zeroed in here and they they make
the surface together the clamp 3000 with
this Duma Fletcher whatever this is and
then they put some downward force so
that your eye doesn't move and this is
most certainly the only I would say
painful part of the process and it's not
super painful we're here the flap starts
you'll notice the laser cuts a flap but
it has a little anchor tab at the top
here that doesn't it doesn't cut all the
way through but then the laser cuts all
the way across your eye is that red or
what so it's a 3-dimensional cut so it's
cutting like a hemisphere and then once
it cuts the whole tab then it Sears the
edge right here is that awesome that's
the coolest thing in the world anyway so
let's look at that again let's look at
my other eye so they they cut the tab
right at the bottom and then they go up
and over you can see the tab is not as
deep there and then they cut all the way
across I guess they're focusing
are just below the surface of the cornea
I'm assuming I'm not a doctor and then
when they get to the far edge the laser
does the whole perimeter it cuts it
loose yeah that's awesome
really cool I'll think chords and that's
a lightsaber anyway so this is the
scariest part because you're sitting
here with two eyes that don't work and
you're sitting there praying to the Lord
that the the power doesn't go off in the
surgery facility or you know you're
you're hoping they have uninterruptible
power supplies on the laser machine but
anyway that's uh that's the probably the
scariest part well then they clamp your
eye open and then they mark the flap at
least I'm assuming this was you guys
with this little die thing he marks the
flap on each side and my assumption
being a carpenter and an engineer is
that this is just in case he
accidentally tears the flap off he knows
how to put it back on I don't know if
that's true or not I'm a layman but uh
it seems like that would make sense to
me so then he gets up under there or
this little shipper took looking thing
and he pulls the flap back and this is
man this is the part where you're hit
you're really glad that your doctors not
an alcoholic or has the jitters or
anything like that so anyway he pulls
the flap back ever so gently this part
is really weird I mean this weird you
out your I just can't describe how weird
this part is when he pulls the flap back
it's like you're in some kind of
spaceship because you're still trying to
look at that little target that he told
you to look at and stare at so you're
still looking as hard as you can but
everything is blurry and I mean totally
blurry and then the lights go out and he
says don't move and he counts to 20 and
while he's counting the laser starts
firing now I'm told that this laser will
lock on and not fire if you move or
anything like that
you can see here he has a lock and he
starts firing at this point I actually
asked my doctor I said hey what's that
smell is that is that what I think it is
and him being the Joker that he is he
says yes sir that it's burning flesh so
you can actually smell your eyeball
burning if you if you're so inclined to
actually think about it which I was I
was asking him what late wavelength
laser was and stuff like that but he's a
pretty cool guy so they put a drop of
water back on and they laid the flat
back over and he said that the van der
Waals forces will keep it in place there
which is some type of vacuum forces that
apply on contact surfaces and then he
rakes your flap back and then puts it
back in place ever so gently and then
you go to the other eye but it's pretty
wild this is the you just you just have
to go go through with it but uh I'm very
very glad I did I can see very well got
twenty fifteen right now so at that
point you feel kind of like a wounded
puppy yeah and you just want to go
somewhere here we'll do the same thing
in fast motion here so you can see mark
it mark it and then pull that Joker back
my wife can't watch this she does a lot
of surgery but she doesn't doesn't do
eyes for some reason she could amputate
your leg but she couldn't take a
splinter out of your eye that's the
funniest thing
it looks like he's playing tug of war
with my I wonder what happens when they
rip the flap off on accident if that
ever happens yes this is one reason you
definitely want to get with a lot of
experience so he acquires the target he
locks on feel like we're gonna Star Wars
TIE fighter then he starts vaporizing
flesh the the noise at that point is
like a clicking noise and say he didn't
acquire so he had to log back on and
acquire but it's like a tapping noise
that you hear all this is going on you
can actually see the laser there
all round it's like bunch of sparks that
you hear see the little smoke see that
smoke anyway that's that here's what it
looks like after the fact 2100 that's
what my vision was now changed this
thing back to 2020 if you don't mind so
that's what my vision looks like now
that's what I can see now awesome thank
you very much
