Recovery Day 8
(Thursday, January 28, 2016)
Overall, today I did
not notice much difference in the way my eyes feel or in the way I see. At my
second follow up appointment Bing Bong took pictures of my eyes again and
confirmed that I still see 20/20. Then, the doctor looked deep into my eyes and
concluded that they were healing very well, so I will not need to come back for
another check up for about a month. I still have to wear the eye shields and no
make up for one more week. He recommended to use the artificial tears at least
four times a day, but after a month I can scale back on them. Now I am using
them more often then that. Mostly on purpose, not only when I notice dryness or
discomfort.
I try looking at
objects and read things with one eye at a time, and I do think that one eye is
seeing sharper then the other. Maybe the surgery did not correct all of my
astigmatism. I should ask the doctor about that next time.
Recovery Day 9
(Friday, January 29, 2016)
My eyes are still
very dry and practically impossible to open in the morning. Otherwise, for most
of the day they feel comfortable enough. Since I am inside for most of the day, I
don't have to use the artificial tears much at all. Only when I go for my walks,
the wind dries them out somewhat, but I promptly put the eye drops in as soon
as I get back home.
I have been really
good at keep things away from my face today. I have not noticed anything
different in the way I see. But although there are no significantly noticeable
changes from one day to the next, I actually think they are improving a little
bit every day. They feel more comfortable with each passing day - the need to
use the artificial tears is less and less.
