PRK Journal, Three Months

The last month has brought some significant improvement.  The right eye (distance) has gotten much better.  There is still some residual ghosting, which is mainly noticeable in low light when the pupil is larger.  The left eye (reading) is still lagging, though it has improved some in the last week.  I don't know where it's heading for its final stable value.  It still has some ghosting as well,  more than the right.  

I've noticed that looking at fine print or a computer screen leads to a couple of minutes of less than great distance vision after I stop.  Maybe the distance eye is still trying too hard in those situations when it has to learn to let the reading eye do the work.  Hopefully that improves as well.  

I'm now on just one steroid drop treatment per day.  (For internet memesters, the name of the steroid is actually FML.  It doesn't actually affect ML negatively at all.)

Again the bottom line is that my vision is completely functional, though still a bit short of where I was with glasses.  Driving is fine, though the increased ghosting at night interferes with long distance sign reading a bit.  Improvement continues and will probably do so for several more months before it reaches stability.
