The day I did my sons lasik operation

I never know some times miracles happens by supreme beings.
I

can still remember the day when me and my son pramit gone for our eye check up in L.V Prasad eye hospital Bhubaneswar. I have gone for my routine presbyopia and and he for his myopia. He suffered myopia from 4yrs of age. Glasses became thicker and thicker with minus points. I really cried a lot alone without any bodies notice that how he will lead a normal life. Ihave a cute daughter but her eye sight is normal. My son has a really cute face with long beautiful eyes like lord Srikrishna which my friends and my parents often praised. His problem started when he started going to school. He unable to read the black board. I thought he was pretending. but alas no, sky falls on me when doc told me he is suffering from myopia.His power goes up. specs changing. He wanted to join army and became an aeronetic engineer. But his poor eye sight shattered all his dreams. Some of his childhood dreams falling apart.But as a brilliant kid he did his engineering with flying colors.From schools to engineering college classmates and friends called him chasmis, chasbuddin, owl etc. He is a very silent kid so he never reacted but i can see his eyes brimming with tears. My heart broken in to pieces when i saw his handsome face with 6 inch thick glasses. One fine day when he took me for my and his test he suddenly decide to do lasik surgery for correcting his eye problem. He met Dr Srikant sahoo a brilliant young eye surgeon specialized in lasik in LV Prasd. He did all the tests on him and told both of us to come day after tomorrow for surgery. I am instantly shocked and thrilled simultaneously . In early morning i drove my son to hospital . Doc was waiting. He assured me not to worry and wrap his hand around my son and lead him to the operation theater. Doc has a very dynamic personality and a very pleasant persona. I never seen such a nice young doc who behave so well and assured me not to be panic. I pray god and siridi sai baba for my sons successful operation. Within 20 minutes his one eye operated without any pain. He came out with a pair of black glasses and hug me. He opened his glasses and told me mama i can see u in bare eyes. My eyes filled with tears. In naked eyes he can see trees, people moving around and premises of the hospital and some lines of news paper i was holding. Again doc called him for operation of another eye after 2 hours. He given some precautions for him for a week. He also allow him to drive and attend his office after one week. Now he is free from his glasses. He wear his favorite sunglasses which he thought will never use in his life time. But Dr sahoo s Midas touch makes it possible i am really grateful and impressed by him. Docs should learn from him how to behave with patients and their anxious family members. he is so young and talented and almost did 300 successful lasik surgeries. I can call him a messiah in our life. i can see my sons beautiful eyes everyday without a sheet of glass. His kid sister always play pranks on him to hide his glasses but now she selecting beautiful sunglasses for his brother.
