The last week I haven't been doing as well. My right eye is blurrier. My surgeon doesn' t want to listen so I fired him and have transferred my care to another doctor. The new doctor believes I am undercorrected in the right eye, but my main problem is dry eye. He did a Tear Breakup Time test and it was 4 in the right eye, 6 in the left. Since I have already been taking Omega 3 supplements, running a humidifier in my bedroom, applying warm compresses and doing lid massages and scrubs, he went ahead and put in lower punctal plugs. I'm still blurry, but my eyes are a lot more comfortable. Also, I bought a pair of glasses to take the edge off the blurriness. I was able to drive without glasses, but I like seeing things crisply and it was a constant reminder of my problems to have blurriness. I swear, if I get over this dry eye, I will be satisfied to wear glasses. At least now my glasses are -.75 instead of -5.00.
