Brian (on Valium) gives a thumbs up sign before going into his LASIK procedure.

The technician puts numbing drops into Brian's eyes.

The techies get Brian ready.

Open wide Brian!

The hardest part for Brian was opening his squinty eyes long enough for Doctor Rodgers to put the clamp on.

After clamping Brian's eyelid open, Dr. Rodgers marks his eye.

Brian's eye was placed in a suction ring so that an instrument known as a microkeratome could expose the inner layer of the cornea, creating a "flap."

The flap is carefully lifted before lasering begins.

Brian had to stare at a target while the laser reshaped his eye.

A little worn out...Brian's Done!

Doctor Rodgers takes a look at Brian's eyes.

He has him read an eye chart (he was at 20/40 immediately after surgery).

Groovy glasses! Much better than the bug shields Cheryl had to wear after her surgery
