Day 13 (Right), Day 3 (Left)

My eye stopped watering this morning and the swelling has gone away. Day 3 is so much easier than day 2 after surgery. Day 2 is the worst. I went out to dinner last night with friends even though my eye was red, swollen, and watering. Interestingly, one of them, who just retired from the military, had PRK in the military. He said it was the best thing that the army did for him. Interestingly, the military only does PRK on personnel. LASIK isn't allowed since the corneal flap weakens the cornea. He was a tank mechanic. His wife had had LASIK and was thrilled with the outcome.

My vision in my right eye is very crisp today. I'm feeling like it's approaching 20/20 for distance, but reading is still blurry.

My post-surgery follow-up appointment for my left eye is Wednesday at 4:00. The bandage contact lens will be removed at this appointment. I haven't exercised for two days and have one more day to wait before I can exercise. I have been sleeping as much as possible and wearing sunglasses most of the time to speed up healing.
