From everything I've heard, day 2 is supposed to be the most uncomfortable, which gives me hope because it's not that bad. My right eyelid is swollen today, my eye has a burning sensation (similar to what you feel chopping onions), and periodically waters. It is painful, but tolerable.
I took Vicodin last night, wore a protective plastic shield over my eye during the night, and slept reasonably well.
I'm light sensitive, so am wearing sunglasses today and staying indoors. I'm keeping my eyes shut as much as possible to rest them. I'm taking the various eye drops when needed and also 800 mg of Ibuprofen/day and 1000 mg of Vitamin C/day.
My vision in my right eye is blurry, but continues to be much better than what it was before surgery.
I am sleeping more than usual. This could be the Vicodin or my body needing more sleep while it mends my eye.
