I had my one-month, follow-up appointment today. My left eye tested 20/20 and my right about 20/25, which I found a little surprising because my right eye is my distance eye and has had 10 more days to heal than my left. I would have expected my monovision eye to test under 20/20. My vision is still somewhat in flux so things will likely change more before they settle into place. The eye doctor said that my vision will fluctuate over the next few months.
I did describe the irritation I have in my right eye when I blink. The eye doctor said it was most likely due to dryness and should resolve itself. She gave me gel-based tear drops and said I should use them rather than the regular tear drops because they last longer. I'll give them a go.
I also let her know that my reading vision in my right eye is still blurry. She said that it's possible that it will remain that way in my distance-corrected eye. I hope it doesn't and that it sharpens over the next month or two.
I also showed the technician the two pairs of glasses I hung onto and asked if she could tell me what the approximate prescription was. She said that one pair is about a +1, which makes them reading glasses. The other pair is about a +0.25, which makes them computer glasses. She said that I should keep them because I might want to use them even after my vision correction surgery, so I'll hang on to these two pairs. I'm actually wearing the computer glasses now for no particular reason. They seem to make the words on the screen just a bit bigger.
My next follow-up appointment is two months from now. That's all the latest!
