My friend Sonia went in for LASIK eye surgery on 20 Feb 2002. The surgery was performed at Teplick Laser Surgery Center.

See my surgery pictures as well.

The annotations here are written by Sonia, with her first-person perspective. As this is not normally the case for the pictures in this archive, I've added this annoying additional note.

Here I am, posing by Randal's Most Impressive Transportation Device, squinting through my glasses with my pre-lasik vision at Randal.

That's the place! Teplick is the The Man, Mr. Big, He-Who-Lazers-Eyes. Teplick is THE reason I go to this place. You'll actually meet him later.

THey even gave me a name tag. This is so that during surgery, I don't get the doctor confused so that he thinks I"m someone else and makes me farsighted instead. Randal suggests I augment the name tag with "this side up." I seriousloy consider it.

This is me with the first guy who does something to check my eyes before the surgery. I don't remember his name, but he puts up with Randal with a smile, so I permit him to live.

We're waiting for the first test room, and this doctor comes by to say hello. Randal will take many more pictures of her before the day is done, and will point out to me more than once that she's not wearing a wedding ring.

So I'm looking into this machine and the guy says, "you can relax for a moment," and then turns on this big set of PINK CIRCLES and I jump back. Randal thinks this means I'm twitchy. I tell him to try the pink circles bullseye himself.
