   No one told me for LASIK that while there isn’t pain (though “pressure” sometimes reads as pain to me)…when the lasers are going, you can literally smell your own eyeballs burning. Which… is disconcerting. And I could smell it for about a half hour after.

   Plus side, my vision is rapidly defogging and sharpening as I heal. Eyes are itchy as fuck but I expected that.

   Modern medicine is honestly amazing. I was unable to function uncorrected until this morning.

     @skinnylatte I’m so glad to get validation that someone else experienced the same thing!
