My surgeon suggested that the worst day would be yesterday (day three) and he was right. I had very little pain today. In the morning I had some dryness that was quickly alleviated with some drops. I don’t feel the sand-in-eye pain at all now, its quite comfortable. Tomorrow I’ll be visiting the clinic again to have the bandage contact lens removed. Its possible that I’ll feel the scratchy pain again since the lens is providing protection for my eye as it heals.
While that was the good news, the bad news is my vision hasn’t improved at all. Its still incredibly blurry with a 9 o’clock ghost image and large halos around all lights (even during the day). I definitely cannot drive like this and I find it difficult to walk without feeling dizzy. I almost want to wear an eye patch and do the pirate thing for a few days since this just isn’t working. I’ve been told this is normal and I should expect blurry vision for another few weeks. Again, I’m glad I did one eye at a time!
