I did SMILE couple months back, don’t know what you guys are talking about. No burned eye smell, only a couple of seconds of blindness in one eye, go home, sleep, no pain afterwards. Didn’t hear much either, despite the doc clearly moving a metallic object under my cornea

I was, indeed, seeing subpar and blurry for a month, but now it’s okay.

Might be wrong about this, but don’t they implant a supportive ring for keratoconus?

I go to a bar whenever I’m in another city, easiest way to make quick acquaintances and get the vibe for the place. Heck, I’m drinking less now, so I’d get a non-alcoholic or a mocktail and still have a decent time. It’s not about drinking.
