My vision is quite good, however, it's still in flux. Some days my left eye sees more clearly than the right and some days it's the other way around. I still have some irritation in my right eye, but using drops more frequently and the gel drops do seem to help. Hopefully, the irritation will completely go away with time. My monovision eye is reading easily now. My distance eye can read, but the letters are blurry. Distance reading is fine, though. My eyes continue to be a little more light sensitive than they were before the surgery. Although my vision isn't perfect, I'm very happy that I got the surgery. It's great to be able to see well without wearing contacts or glasses. I especially like being able to see when I wake up since this is still novel to me.
If you're reading this because you're planning to get or have already had epi-LASIK (PRK), here's a little tip: You may be able to return your unused boxes of contact lenses for a refund. I took mine to my optometrist's office to ask if I could return them and, to my surprise, the answer was "yes". I was refunded what I had paid after my vision service plan (VSP) discount.
