Insightful, delightful and entertaining some of the time.
Lasik - 3 Month Check-Up
11:15PM December 20, 2008
Went in for my three month check-up on Wednesday this week, Dr. said my eyes were looking good. As a whole I’m using my eye drops less and less, although I tend to still put drops in three times a day or so, usually when I wake up (flush them out), once often sometime during the day, usually right after work, then before I go to bed. I find that by doing it this way my eyes never get all gunked up.
I still turn off overhead lights while sitting in rooms alone or close blinds (still getting Hermit jokes at work :^)) to keep glare down, but I no longer am irritated by glare, it’s just more comfortable to work without the little glare that is left.
Car defrosters (or any vents that blow air directly onto your face) are perhaps the worst now, they will dry my eyes out really fast. I tend to use vent modes that put air as far away from my head as possible unless it is needed to defrost the main windshield or keep things from fogging up and in that case I’ll do what I can to prevent the air from hitting me in the face.
Eyesight is 20/20ish in one eye and 20/25ish in the other most of the time (seems to shift a bit depending on how moist they are), plenty acceptable. No need for additional correction at this time.
Still happy with the decision to have it done? Yup, still some of the best money I’ve spent. Next year’s event – immunotherapy for all the stuff I’m allergic to (17 of 39 things they tested me for I respond at a moderate or higher level) to try to numb up my allergies and make Alan dog friendly.
