Update 2 for the day!

Following on from my last post I’ve run upstairs to the clinic to get a bit of advice about my sticking plaster eye. Turns out that this is common a month after surgery and I’ve done well not to have it before now.

Because my eyes have only recently treated it’s likely to happen for a while which is why my provider continues to see you for 6 months. This was pretty reassuring to me and besides that they checked my eyes.

No real indications of very dry eyes from what the optom could see so they should continue to heal properly.

On this very positive note, I’m going to write a small list of the things I’m finding now I’ve ditched my glasses and contacts.

1. I can see when applying my make up:- now I’ll look less like Boy George.
2. It doesn’t matter how drunk I get, I will never again have to put my finger in my eye to remove a contact lense:- Many a time I nearly lost my eye through vigirous poking
3. No more will I lose my glasses:- lost them more than 3 times
4. No more will I sit on and break my glasses:- done twice
5. I can now wear my cool non prescription sunnies and actually see:- whole holiday in Malta was a sunny fuzz. Can’t actually tell you what I saw.
6. No more fuzzing when my contact lenses move in my eyes:- This was the biggest annoyance, I’d look like I had a twitch in my face but actually I was blinking to try and regain the clarity of my lenses.
7. No more red marks on my nose and sweaty cheeks where my glasses have sat:- fewer spots and less greasy face.
8. Saving money in the long run: - £64 every 3 months for disposable contact lenses and £300 a year on glasses that I would constantly lose and break. Cost saving to the max.
9. New eyes new me! Going to start a health kick now my eyes are better.
10. Less tired eyes at the end of the day:- contact lenses were a pain to say the least. They’d dry and move meaning I was squinting at my screen.

So there’s a top ten! Will update again soon!
