Day 4 (Right)

The pain in my right eye is minimal today. Every once and awhile I feel like there may be something in my eye like a bit of dust or the bandage contact lens itself. My distance vision in my right eye is very good today. I would guess that it's about a -1.5 or -2.0. My intermediate vision is also good, but my near vision is blurry. I can't read with my right eye. The surgeon's office instructed me not to exercise for the first three days so today will be my first day of exercise post-surgery. I'll do a body pump class in half an hour and try not to sweat into my eye. :-) I'll either rely on my surgery eye only or wear my glasses with one lens removed. I'm feeling very optimistic about the progress with my vision in my right eye. I'm continuing to sleep with a plastic protective shield taped over my right eye so that I don't inadvertently put any pressure on my eye while I sleep. I highly recommend using an eye shield, especially if you tend to sleep on your stomach or side. My vision is not yet good enough to drive.
