Topic: General   Post-Lasik Days 5-8
04:59PM September 28, 2008
Each day my vision is getting a bit more robust/endurance is better My clarity is good but I’m still getting a lot of halo effects around lights and my sensitivity to glare is huge. Any overhead lights in a room will eventually stress my eyes so even around the house and in my office I am wearing slightly tinted safety glasses, so far I’ve mostly been compared to Elvis or a nightclub attendee :^). The best set I’ve found for around the house use that cut the glare and even out light sources a bit are these: Lowe's Safety Glasses

When I’m outdoors for any length of time during the day I switch to fully tinted wrap-around sunglasses and am now wearing a hat quite a bit of the time, which do the trick.

After about 30-60 minutes of driving I am getting severe pain in my right eye and it starts watering like crazy, when I was at the doctors office he said that was probably due to bruising and muscle/tendon issues. At night it takes a much shorter period than during the day. I've posted a picture Dave took of my eyeball the other day while fooling around if you want to see how much damage was still apparent a week after the procedure: Alan Eyeball

As long as I don’t stare at anything for any length of time, wear glare-reducing glasses, limit my driving and lube my eyes 4-6 times a day I’m in good shape. I could be considered fully functional at this point for daily activities. I think within another 1-2 weeks I’ll be at 100% at this rate.

I am still wearing my red baron/snoopy glasses at night, mostly to keep the moisture close to my eyeballs and keep me from rubbing them. If anything this entire lasik exercise has caused me to dramatically change how I treat my eyes (no more rubbing, etc.).

Am I still happy with my Lasik? Yup, even at retail cost it is still some of the best money spent during my adult life.
