Well, thanks Judy. So far, I am 11 days out from my enhancement to correct my induced hyperopia of +1 in the left and +.75 in my right eye. My right eye feels great, no discomfort! Not that dry. I stopped using the Pred Fort & Zymar drops after 6 days in that eye. Immediately after surgery and for about 4 days I had excellent near and mid-range vision in my right eye. As my right eye heals, I notice that the near is worsening a bit as the distance clears up. The mid-range is great. I think this is what is supposed to happen as the distance comes back to 20/20 - which it should as my doc tells me I have no refractive error for distance in my eyes. There is no more farsightedness in that eye, as I can see things if I hold tehm at arm's length or move them further away from my eyes. I can still use the computer with no reading glasses.
My left eye is slower to heal and I just stopped the Pred Fort & Zymar yesterday and see my doc tomorrow. The left eye is still kind of scratchy & irritated. It drives me crazy! My near and mid-range vision in my left eye are good, although the near will fade a bit as the eye heals. My distance vision in my left eye is worse than my right. I'd just love for the scrathiness to go away.
I'm really loving being able to carefully wash my hair and face again. Of course I do not rub my eyes. I do let a little warm water run over them (closed) in the shower. The Genteal gel really helps the irritation somewhat. Having been on Restasis for six months I feel is helping me dry eye wise.
Judy, the flap lift and surgery part were easier this time. The flap lift is no big deal. As you know, the recovery and taking care of your eyes is the worst part. I am glad I did it. I love having much better, clearer near and mid-range vision. Except for waiting for my distance vision to improve, my near and mid-range vision are as good as they were with the 1.25 readers I was using indoors to "clear up" my induced hyperopia.
So, are you not doing an enhancment? It doesn't seem like it...
