There was a quick checkup appointment this morning, at which it was clear that I'm not ready to drive yet. I could read a few lines on the chart fuzzily with my right eye, and nothing with my left. The appointment was basically to check that I wasn't in agony, the bandage contacts were still in place, and I was using my drops as prescribed.
Computer use isn't completely comfortable either, even with big fonts and low resolution. Long stretches of text are tiring.
It's a bright sunny day so photosensitivity is a little noticeable, not bad. I'm supposed to wear protective sunglasses outside anyway.
Distance vision is slightly improved, though my test is imprecise. Whether I can distinguish all the letters in the title "Brahm's Lullaby" (sic, this book apparently thinks his name was Johannes Brahm) sort of fluctuates as I look at it. But my best guess today is 61 inches. I've noticed vision is better within a couple of minutes of application of the half-hourly artificial tears.
Comfort: same as yesterday. Eyes feel tired and the artificial tears are necessary. No pain.
Photosensitivity: a little in the bright sun, but ambient indoor light is perfectly comfortable.
Target: Both eyes: 61 inches. Left eye only: 51 inches. Right eye only: 81 inches. Yes, the left eye is actually adding blur to the joint vision and I'm seeing better with the right eye only.
Closeup vision: feels a little blurrier than yesterday. I can make out the text in a normal print book but reading any significant amount is too strenuous.
Driving: not yet
Working: not yet
