My mappings appointment

It's my birthday and I got my mappings done today. TLC took several tests, measuring thickness of corneal skin, pupil size, taking 200+ different prescriptions throughout my eye. At the end, my eyes were dilated. I wasn't really thinking what that meant when I looked at myself in the mirror in the washroom. I nearly scared myself, my pupils were like saucers! Freaky. I was watching what was being done on the computer and I had to take my glasses off to read. No wonder I could see so clearly, my pupils were huge! It was really bizarre. I took the subway to work; I couldn't focus on the monitor whatsoever with or without glasses. To read what I typed, I had to stick my head right up to the screen. After a couple hours I could look at the screen wearing glasses but my eyes still felt foggy and it took all day for the pupil size to return to normal. Just 3 more days of wearing these ugly glasses. I had taken out my contacts on the Saturday before my consultation, then when I booked the appointment today I had to have had them out for 2 full weeks so I never ended up putting my contacts back in. Three years ago, they only requested 3 days but they found that that wasn't enough time for the cornea to return to its normal shape and the mappings were picking that up. I'm glad I waited the 3 years; they even cut the flap using Intralase LASIK. The important thing about that is that it's bladeless. :)
