It's been a month since I had surgery in my right eye. I still experience a persistent "foreign body sensation" in my eyes when I blink. Surprisingly, it's more noticeable in my right eye than my left even though the surgery in my left eye was more recent. The feeling is similar to wearing a contact lens with a very small nick in it. I'm hoping that the sensation will clear up with time. The wetting drops seem to help.
My distance vision in my right eye is very clear. My near vision (reading vision) in my right eye is getting clearer, but still a little blurry. The double vision I experienced when reading has gone away. It's possible that my reading vision in my right eye will remain a little blurry. When nearsighted eyes are corrected for distance in someone over 40, the need for reading glasses can sometimes be immediate. Nearsightedness can mask the need for reading glasses and once the nearsightedness is removed, the need for reading glasses is more noticeable. Here's an article about it.
I'm just shy of three weeks post-surgery for my left eye and reading is very crisp with my left eye now. My distance vision with my left eye is blurry, but seems to get a little clearer each day.
My one-month follow-up appointment is next Wednesday and I'm very curious to have my vision tested.
