MULA sa gradong 626/600 ng kanyang mga mata, balik na sa 20/20 vision ang paningin ng TV host na si Gretchen Ho.
Matapos ngang maging super busy last year dahil sa kanyang mga adbokasiya at charity works noong kasagsagan ng lockdown dulot ng pandemya, nagkaroon na ng panahon ang dalaga para asikasuhin ang kanyang mata.
Kamakailan lang ay sumailalim sa Lasik eye surgery (a procedure to help correct the vision of people who are nearsighted, far sighted, or have astigmatism).
Dito ikinuwento nga niya sa pamamagitan ng Instagram ang kanyang naging experience.
“FINALLYYYYY. I’ve always wanted to do this but now’s the only time I found time,” simulang chika ni Gretchen sa caption ng kanyang IG post.
Patuloy niya, “Had Lasik surgery yesterday with the doctor who operated on my mom’s eyes 20 years ago, Dr. Robert Ang.
“I felt comfortable and confident, having seen the effects on my mom’s life 20 years later. She was one of the first batches!!
“One of the things that assured me was the thorough testing I went through the day before to know if I was eligible for Eye Lasik. They measure all sorts of details about your eye: thickness of cornea, eye pressure, tear production, etc.
“All these details go through their tech, and once you’ve passed the test, these numbers are what the computer uses to adjust your grade in the operation!” sey pa ng TV host.
Inamin ni Gretchen na inatake rin siya ng nerbiyos bago sumalang sa surgery, “Since a lot are asking how it felt, nung una kinakabahan din ako sa operation, but doc was talking to me all throughout!
“I saw different lights, felt some pressure lang on my eye, but everything was painless! They used anesthesia drops that were strong enough for me to not feel anything.
“The whole operation lasted 30 minutes. Afterwards, when the anesthesia wears off, medyo masakit lang ulo, may konting uncomfortability sa mata, pero mawawala din pag tinulog mo na.
“They use bladeless technology kaya until now, I don’t feel any pain. So amazed with how advanced the tech now is!!”
Kuwento pa ng dalaga, “A day after…my eyesight is a lot clearer, still a bit hazy as my eyes are still adjusting, but I already feel so liberated!
“The biggest bonus of all: me addressing my fears that the world would end at maubusan ako ng contact lenses.
“So for those who are thinking of doing lasik, it’s really a worthy investment! Can’t wait til everything gets 100% clear,” huling pahayag ng TV host.
