[Red] Laser Eye Surgery - Part 2

I'm now on to the day of recovery, and I have to say that it is really uneventful.

I had to tape shields over my eyes to ensure that I wouldn't rub my eyes before I woke up enough to remember that is the cardinal sin with eye surgery.

I was hoping for some eye shields that would afford me some dignity, but that was not the case. Taped to my face.

I can'e get water on my eyes for 2 weeks, so showering is going to be interesting. While I might upload pictures of crappy eye-shields and gross eye close-ups, my showering technique is a trade secret. I'm not about to put it on display. In the shower, I tried to take off my glasses - that really made my day.

Today, I was still a little light sensitive, but was able to attend my followup exam without any sun blocking.

The exam was a very brief 'read the letters' then the optometrist looked at my eyes through some machine. Nothing sensational, or even worth commenting on, really. After that, I was discharged until a followup appointment in a month.

Still putting in drops every 2 hours, still can't get my eyes wet, or touch them. Still have to treat them special. Still missing some close-range vision. Still not sure how the night vision is. Maybe I'll check that out tonight.
