The past few days have all been very similar with respect to my vision. I feel like I start out the day with the kind of vision that makes me forget I ever had surgery. This lasts until about 5-6 PM when my eyes start to dry out a bit and I notice my vision getting a bit blurry. Rewetting drops help but slight blurry vision persists for the rest of the night.
I was able to drive Tuesday night after the Rockies game with no problem. I did have a bit of trouble making out street signs but it didn't really matter much since I knew where I was going :)
Today I had my follow up appointment. I was able to see 20/20 in both eyes and could read some of the letters in the 20/15 line. I did need to strain to read them and they seemed to be going in and out of focus. The doctor said that is normal and it will take a month or two for that to all settle out. He says everything looks very well on the surface of the eye, there's just a lot of healing that still needs to take place. I'm safe to do anything I want at this point other than rub my eyes. I went wakeboarding tonight with no issues (and really enjoyed not dealing with contacts!)
I was instructed to stay on the steroid drops (Vexol) for the next month and keep using rewetting drops when my eyes are dry.
