Monday was the day of my follow up appointment and the day I finally was able to get my bandage lens removed. I felt sure this was causing most of my discomfort and suspected it may have been causing some of my vision problems as well.
I woke up 20/20 on Monday again... however once again my 20/20 state only persisted for about 10 minutes.
My follow-up checkup at 8:45 went fine... the doctor said I had regrown enough epithelium to completely cover both corneas although it appeared it was still very thin in the center on the left eye. I was given some new medicine to use now that the bandage lens was off.
Removing the bandage lens was slightly uncomfortable but not bad - again numbing drops are your friend here. I did feel better once the lens was removed but unfortunately could not see any better. If anything I was seeing slightly worse on Monday than I was on Sunday... however I didn't have the light sensitivity issues.
I was able to work on the computer for approximately 4 hours Monday, I then took a break and went out to Sushi with Tom and Sam. I came back at around 9 and wrote this blog! The biggest difference from Sunday has (thankfully) been the lack of eyestrain... even though I can't see well at least I don't have problems focusing. Other than some occasional dry eyes and bouts of additional blurry vision I'm not having any problem using the computer. I'm planning to go back to work tomorrow although I still don't feel comfortable driving yet. I think I could do it if I absolutely needed to but I plan to get a ride with a co-worker just to be safe.
