Day 11 (Right), Day 1 (Left)

I went ahead with surgery on my left eye Friday, June 27, 2014. The surgery was very fast like the first time. The laser was on my eye for 14 seconds or so. I could feel the instrument that holds the eyelids open more than the last time and mentioned it to the surgeon and he made it a little less tight. The music was Pink Floyd once again: Wish You Were Here followed by Breathe. My vision was very clear immediately following the surgery (before any corneal healing starts) and it went smoothly. My eye started to sting and water a few hours after surgery, presumably when the numbing drops wore off. I kept my sunglasses on and listened to an audiobook. I slept 12 hours the first night after surgery. I think I heal much faster when I'm asleep. I'm doing all the various drops for my eyes on schedule and sleeping with a protective plastic disc over my eye so that I don't risk rubbing it at night. I know the second day after day surgery is the most painful and that it gets much easier after that. It's really nice to have my vision more balanced between my two eyes. My right eye feels like 20/40 and my left eye like 20/100. Just a wild guess.
