Best thing I ever did for myself...

[Pico and ME]

...should have done it long ago. Isn't that what you keep hearing from people who had the eye surgery? I know I did...anyone I ever talked to just raved about it.

Unfortunately, I am the big exception. Mine didn't turn out well at all. First of all, the flap on my right eye turned over and I had to go back the next day to get it fixed and they put a contact in as a bandage to keep the flap in place. Secondly, its day four and I still can’t see out of either eye very well. My left eye is actually healing very nicely (not much swelling) and the eye doctor’s visit yesterday verified that I’m seeing 20/25 out of it...but that is only very far distant vision. If I look out the window of my house I can see across the street pretty darn good (things are still not all that clear, but that is a result of the swelling that is still there). However, I can’t see anything clearly nearer up...or mid range. Reading glasses help for very close up, but that is all. My right eye is totally shot, however I am noticing that I can see a little better very close up with it. That’s a problem in itself because it looks like they corrected for monovision when I specifically said I did not want it. However, could just be me fretting...it’s really hard to say what this eye is going to end up doing yet. Any way, as a result, I am incapacitated, because I can’t see well enough to do much of anything. I have notified work that I don’t really know yet when I will be able to make it in.

Funny thing, the eye doctor declared me safe to drive yesterday. I looked at him like he was crazy. I’m certainly not going to try it. My right eye is my dominant eye and not being able to see out it really totally fucks everything up.

Anyway, thanks for listening and does anyone have any stories that that they could share that might relate to my experience?
