Comedian and media personality Oga Obinna has recently undergone a medical procedure.
The Oga Obinna Show host shared the news on his social media platforms, revealing that he underwent an non-invasive procedure to fix his eyesight that had been detereorating over time.
“I am about to have a laser surgery. When I remove the glasses. My eyes start to tear. Then also, I am very short-sighted. I see blurry things,” stated Obinna.
He shared surgery was successful and within a short time, he could already notice a drastic improvement in his eyesight.
“I just read what was on that screen and that is something I could not do. I slept for about three hours after the surgery when I came back home, and my eyesight is back,” he said.
The father of four disclosed that he had previously intended to have the procedure done in Turkey, unaware that LASIK eye surgery services were done in Kenya.
“Initially I had planned to go to Turkey to get the surgery done there, and then I discovered it is available here in Nairobi,” stated Obinna.
Obinna was highly impressed with the process, as he stated that it took only half an hour to get through consultation and surgery. He even shared that he was scared before getting on the operating table but was pleasantly surprised by how painless it turned out to be.
“I thought it was a painful process but to my surprise, it was completely painless. The procedure took around thirty minutes including consultation and the surgery.
“Wueh! was so scared before this however I did it scared and immediately realized I was scared for nothing. Painless and very quick,” stated Obinna.
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is a vision correction surgery for issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It reshapes the cornea using a laser to improve focus on the retina and thereafter improving vision. It is highly successful with majority of patients regaining 20/20 vision within 24 to 48 hours.
