2 Month Follow-Up

I had my 2 month follow up appointment today and the results were great... 20/20 vision in my right eye and I could read part of the 20/15 line in my left eye. My best corrected vision is about the same as it was before surgery. I could read slightly more with my left eye after about .25 diopters of correction and I had approx .25 diopers of astigmatism in my right. Both of these numbers are small enough to be neglected according to the folks at Insight. I'm glad I'm not going to be one of the 3-5% that needs another surgery after a -8 diopters correction!

I'm going to remain on Vexol (steroid) drops for the next couple of weeks - 2x per day this week and then down to 1x per day next week. After that I'm done with steroid drops and just need to take rewetting drops as needed.

My vision has been great overall for the past month. I stopped having problems with night vision probably about a week after my last June post. I have started to notice a bit more "ghosting" or "haloing" around bright objects in low light. It's nothing that makes driving or doing anything difficult at night - just more of an annoyance than anything. I'm not sure whether I'm just noticing this now that the rest of my vision is as good as it is and it has been there the entire time or if it's been getting worse. Dr Johnson said to monitor it for the next month. He said to pay attention to whether my eyes are dry when I notice it - It may be due to lack of tear film. He did mention that the tear film was slightly less than normal in my visit today - and I have noticed that my eyes have been more dry than usual for the past two days.
