Sounds like the healing is going well. Hope the double vision clears up, that would drive me a little nuts.Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-75831402656272665452010-06-07T11:11:38.654-07:002010-06-07T11:11:38.654-07:00One week on -

I followed all the instructions for the post-op regimen (anti-inflammatories and anti-biotics eyedrops drops every 4 hours while awake, rewetting drops instead of rubbing eyes, protecting eyes with safety glasses when awake or shields when asleep for a week, not rubbing, no heavy lifting, etc...) <br /><br />I seem to have developed this doublevision in my left eye which takes my vision back to 20/25, but it comes and goes. It could be due to healing or to hydration or to some weird new astygmatism. I'm to keep it hydrated, keep up the anti-inflammatory drops 2x/day for another week and we'll see at my 1 month appt if I still have issues.<br /><br />It's much, much easier this week to see close up, but not easy yet to see very close (distance of looking at armpits). I asked the doc about exercises and she said the beads-on-a-string exercise will help with eye coordination so I'll give that a try for now. I just want my eyes to work togther and not fight each other so the prescription stays good.CrankyOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863609824154763580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-91299415899501229352010-06-03T16:09:47.340-07:002010-06-03T16:09:47.340-07:00Thanks for your support, all.

I saw more intense halos - bright with blurred edges and starbursts, along with secondary and tertiary images that overlapped the main image on far/bright objects before. Now I just see one sharp image with a supernatural glow around it. It's better and I'm not complaining.<br /><br />My close vision is still wonky, but when I showed my boss, she said "you SHOULDN'T" be reading that close!!! And if you hold your stuff further out, you'll read faster because your eyes won't have to track along the line. Oh, yeah. That. <br /><br />But by wonky, I mean that if I try to look at my armpit, there's significant eye strain and a greyish hole in the middle of my vision. I'm not super thrilled about that, but it's also improving every day so I don't know what the end state will be. <br /><br />As for the middle distance vision (computer monitor, faces at meetings), my eyes are still not working together smoothly. And there's some oddity to the vision that's not unlike what I had with glasses but goes away when I focus but too much focusing gives me a headache. This is to be expected, my eyes were used to working broken. Now they've been fixed and they're at 6s and 7s. I'd like to do some exercises to help them adjust correctly rather than retrain them wrong. If anyone has links (Hi Terri, thanks for commenting!) to online exercises or doctors that work on this, I'd appreciate them. One guy at work recommended a speedreading training program that might work.<br /><br />For another followup, my industrial sized kit of a dozen gel food colors came. Now to see what foodly havoc I can wreak with them.CrankyOtterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02863609824154763580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-69174053341680122572010-06-03T15:30:12.060-07:002010-06-03T15:30:12.060-07:00WOO HOO for you!

Nice place ya got here.<br /><br />Boss is out today so can't ask about the eye exercises, but will as soon as I get the chance and pass them along. She did say she had a really hard time right after and the doctor had to keep assuring her it would get better. I was under the impression the eyes will retrain themselves, it just takes a little time.<br /><br />Now I need to add you to my list of favorites. Looks some good stuff is being talked about over here.Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3434495502175776916.post-66545973508784914012010-05-31T14:12:28.207-07:002010-05-31T14:12:28.207-07:00Glad it went so well!
