And so it continues…

I’m still giving my eyes some time to settle but so far so great! Still 2 lines below 20/20 which is so much better than the first week post surgery. I mean don’t get me wrong, my eye sight was pretty amazing straight away but if I blinked it tended to cloud my bandage lense. The improvement in my eyes post lense though was definitely noticable and I could start seeing the clarity of my vision improve. Not only that but the annoying prickling sensation was a distant memory.

I’ve been talking to a friend of my boyfriend about him getting his eyes corrected. He’s long sighted and has heard that it’s harder to correct than short sightedness. To some extent this is true but as with any surgery, nothing is guaranteed. I’m not a sales person but I think my experience of laser surgery demostrated that it can be straight forward if done properly. Liam (our friend) got to talk to one of the surgeons who took the time to explain what the expected result may be and what he could expect.

I think Liam is now very seriously considering going through with it. Funnily enough I keep getting asked how my eyes are and because I have very few problems with them, I forget I ever had to wear glasses.

The only small hitch I have had is the dry eyes but this is so easily resolved it really can’t be counted as a problem. I guess I have been incredibly lucky to get the result I wanted and to even have a better result than expected. It’s an amazing feeling.

Holiday time is fast approaching (only 30 days to go! I’m not counting or anything :P) and this will be the first time I’ll get to try out my new eyes in some very funky shades. It’ll also be a joy to not have sun tan marks round my eyes from wearing glasses as contacts in the sea were a no no.

It’s amazing how much we take our sight for granted.
