I am back! Why an laser to the eye is fine too.

 

.

As most off you know, I had an eye-surgery last week on Tuesday to get rid of my –9 dioptres. Wasn’t using any devices too much over until today. But I guess you folks noticed a few Tweets over the past days and a Dannychoo.com member stuff entry on Monday. Just had to. Why? because the Mirai Clock App is finally available via the AppStore!

.

But lets talk about how eyes smell, why Apple isn’t always awesome and why mysterious pictures of me appeared on the net last week now.

Were the magic happened: Privat clinic Wels St. Stephan.

.

Had the surgery around 18:00 UTC+2. Would like to share how that stuff works:

First you get a pill and a  few  eye drops to anesthetize  the eyes. After this you lay down on the operation table. The Laser get’s programmed via a laptop. The doctor uses an alcohol solution to loosen then lift a thin layer of the epithelium. The laser is loaded (unfortunately without a geek-ish sound message xD, a few leds are tuned on and you see a green point that’s coming nearer and nearer. (Guess what the green light was, ehehe). Everything get’s blurry and you smell the scent of burned cornea. After a few seconds the green light disappears, the doctor slides the epithelium back to its place and puts a protective lens into your eye.  The same process is repeated at the second eye. After a few minutes everything is over and you are able to see everything already quite clear!!! You leave the clinic with a few eye drops and pills (if it starts to hurt.)

And it starts to hurt around 15 minutes later. Was going to bed that as soon as I arrived at home with a few pills of course. But the pains aren’t that bad as this might sound. Fell asleep thx to the pills quite soon.On the next morning everything felt quite ok. Had to visit the doctor on that day. Was already at around over 80% eye-sight.

Had another visit last Friday were I met my former classmate candlej (who started his burogu techpantsu.net last week. I already sense some win, looking forward to more burogu entries over there.)

We were showing off our netbooks, had some coffee X sweet stuff and were talking about random animu, tech and what not stuff while trying to browse ecchi sites without getting noticed by other costumers. Each others blog loaded on our netbooks in the pic above. Just noticed the nearly athletically pose of mine while doing some ~puni~puni~ action with my iPhone 3G.

candlej was so generous to drive me home with his cocksdane as he had nothing to do anyway (besides some work related meetings and other unimportant stuff). The iPhone cam failed completely above o_O A few hours later a blog post appeared on the interwebs which told the world that I’m still alive and unveiling some unknown details. Check it out here.

.

But back to the topic: Had another visit at the doctor today: 100% eyes-sight and I can use devices and such! Just have to use eye-drops for a few months now.

I highly recommend to think about this surgery if you hate to wear glasses or contacts.

For folks in Austria a special tip: Dr. Wienerroither, a master of the mysterious art of laser surgery. hikky seal of approval get!

As I was already in Linz I visited the best shop in this city: The McShark Store, Austria’s Apple Premium Reseller No.1 (we don’t have an Apple Store yet over here.) Got an iTunes 25€ pre-paid card to pay for the Mirai Clock App because the iTunes Store doesn’t accept my virtual credit card for some weird reasons.

Forgot to bring along my iPhone cable… this needs to be replaced as you can see above. Was mostly used with the Xtand on the desk! I’m not very satisfied with the quality of this cable considering the product it comes with. I’m glad that I bought another one right away when I got the iPhone.

.

A lot of stuff happened over the last week, have to read a ton of burogu entries or so now. More details about SAFs and other merchandise stuff will follow soon.

I’m so glad to be back to the virtual world ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

    well, welcome back!
    the iphone stuff kinda sucks but i actually got thinking:
    an iphone with USB connector and a slide-out keyboard would be a buy for me :) of some sort of tactile feedback like the clickable screen on the blackbery shootmeiforgotthemodelname ™.

    anyway, looking forward to more awesome posts and as soon as i get my nendo and some other cam stuff maybe a photosession ;)

    It good to see you back, hikky-kun! No wonder I saw your outgoing session being shared across Twitter. Really good that you met your old mate after some time…

    I was thinking of not wearing glasses at some point, and my friend told me that laser surgery is the way to go. Much better and less tedious than wearing contacts. Might as well take it, since I wasn’t really confident about it at first. ^^

    Ouch, so that’s what happened to your cable. Really a rare case for an Apple product to be like that. I’m planning on getting an iPhone myself by the end of the year; might go for the 3Gs version, with the Mirai app installed! And I will revisit your blog for any more updates/advice on the iPhone! ^^

        Hehe, yah you can’t hide stuff from the word since Twitter is around. Yah, think about it. It’s a great investment!

        Have seen a lot of those broken cables on the net. Not something to be proud of Apple!

        • July 9, 2009 at 16:35 | #5

          @ candlej: Wow, they really did sell that in the market? Looks like Apple will go to great lengths just to get their buyers! ^^

          @ hikky: Yeah, I’ll be thinking about it. I heard that it’s not cheap for laser surgery in Malaysia. But if it is good in the long run, why not?

          Ah, now it makes me think twice about an Apple product. Somehow I see it as a potential replacement for my current mobile. The best thing that appeals me from the iPhone is the amount of social apps that can be installed into it. I can picture myself Twittering through a WiFi network while in college. Now that’s technology! ^^

    So it’s like hikky 2.0 or something?
    Well, it’s good to have you back completely healthy with upgradet eyesight. 8D

    welcome back! ^o^ and wow about the laser treatment ^^; I’m a bit too chicken to do it lol!

    • July 9, 2009 at 13:16 | #9

      If you think about it get the best doc you can find! The world needs your art!

  6. July 9, 2009 at 00:03 | #10

    I might consider getting laser surgery, but I actually like to wear glasses, but not all the time. Well, glad you’re back!

    Welcome back. Glad the surgery went well. I wear glasses and I don’t have it as much as I thought I would. Luckily (keeping my finger crosses), my eyes have not worsened yet since I wore my glasses for the first time. Not sure why though since I spent a lot of time in front of my PC.

    • July 9, 2009 at 13:19 | #12

      I’m a lot in front of my PC too. But my eye sight was unchanged since years.

  8. July 9, 2009 at 03:20 | #13

    Alright! welcome back the new hikky.

  9. July 9, 2009 at 06:20 | #14

    I look 10 years younger with my glasses. People still mistake me for a high school kid (:

    • July 9, 2009 at 13:12 | #15

      Lol, really? 10 years just because of the glasses?

      • July 9, 2009 at 14:43 | #16

        looks like you need pictorial evidence. PIX SOON!

  10. July 9, 2009 at 06:59 | #17

    Welcome Back!

  13. July 9, 2009 at 11:02 | #22

    Welcome back!

    I’m wearing glasses too, but only to look in the far.
    But I’m sometimes lazy to put them on.
    I have the glasses now about 2 years.

    • July 9, 2009 at 13:20 | #23

      Had my first glasses at the age of 7. Contacts since I was 12 and I decided this was long enough ^_^

  14. July 9, 2009 at 20:26 | #24

    Damn…. ähm… yeah, the hikky is back an could now see what´s going on in the World^^

    Like-minded people close-by must be nice… I think that will never happen, as long as I live at my parents home >_<

    If I hadn´t opend my eyes under water in the indoorpool in a turkey holiday, I wouldn´t need glasses today…

  15. July 10, 2009 at 20:29 | #25

    Good to have you back. So is it you in the pictures??
    Lol at the picture you took of your laptops. The mirror reflects you taking the pic.

  16. July 12, 2009 at 07:39 | #27

    ooo grats on the upgrade ^__^

    personally i don’t mind glasses and the surgery still kinda freaks me out so i’m happy ^^;;

    but damn that must be nice!

  17. July 17, 2009 at 03:31 | #28

    Thanks for sharing your experiences. it sound safe.

  18. July 9, 2009 at 19:51 | #29

    i have an E71 and use the great app gravity to twitter with it

    also, magsafe connectors on macbooks also fail a lot and the screens on some imacs suffer from uneven lighting and contrast across the screen – these things are kept from the public pretty well by apple (they have groups that burry negative articles about apple on digg and such).
