Just another PRK update

So, right now I am 20/20 in my left and 20/30 in my right.
I am going back for an enhancement on my right eye (yey for free enhancements) since they under corrected a bit.
But other than that…eyes feel pretty damed good. It’s great waking up in the morning and seeing everything. It’s great being able [...]

PRK Update

So I had the other contact lens taken out Monday morning. Lately, I’ve had no discomfort in my eyes, as long as I keep up with the lubricating drops.
Vision in left eye better than the right, yadda yadda. It’s nice to wake up in the morning and see the alarm clock.

My PRK - One week after

Friday was fairly uneventful. Marginal improvement in vision.
Saturday morning, I had another appointment go see if the right contact is ready to be taken out. It’s not quite there yet…the eye is about 98% healed. I could have had the contact taken out at the expense of some pain for the next day, and I [...]

My PRK - Days five and six after Surgery

Day five was Wednesday, January 9th of 2008, and it was glorious. I only say that because it is the first day since Monday that I did not want to claw my eyes out. The light sensitivity and pain of the last two days was really starting to irk me, but today was pretty good. [...]

My PRK - Days two and three after Surgery

I must say, day two was pretty uneventful. It was just a regular boring Sunday. I stayed home and watched some movies. Bas came over later and we went out to get some food. It felt good to be outside again, especially with the weather being so nice.
Day three I had to go into work. [...]

My PRK - Day One after Surgery

Today completes my first full day after surgery. I had to sleep with protective eye covers that made me look like an alien to make sure I don’t rub my eyes at night, or right after I wake up. I didn’t really need them, but I’m not about to make a fuss about something so [...]

My PRK - The Day Of

I’m not supposed to be TECHNICALLY writing this (or be on the computer at all), but since I’m an apparent addict; Here we go.
Yesterday, I had my PRK surgery done. For those that don’t know, PRK is another form of laser eye surgery. PRK has been around longer than LASIK, but the popularity of LASIK [...]
