Saturday, Day 8 And Morning of Day 9

I didn't post yesterday because I really had nothing new to say. My vision had remained about the same since my post on Wednesday. I was able to spend a full day Friday (about 11 hours) looking at a computer screen, although I was ready to be done by the end of the day. I can't say for sure whether it was actually getting easier or whether I was just getting more used to the slight level of blurriness that remains.

It's now Saturday AM, just under 24 hours + 1 week since I went into surgery. I have an exciting development this morning... overnight my left eye has caught up with my right! This morning I can see as well (or possibly better) with my left eye. I'm guessing if I took an eye test this morning I would be 20/20 in both eyes. This is reassuring because my left eye heeded extra correction (from -8 dioptres) and had the highest chance of needing an additional surgery (3-5% according to the statistics I'd read.)

As of this morning very little evidence of surgery remains. I think I might be slightly more light sensitive (squinting a bit as I type with morning light streaming in) and I have not yet attempted night driving. I did wake up with very dry eyes this morning, however within a few minutes of blinking my eyes feel back to normal (even without rewetting drops.)

I will continue with updates as I see any changes.
