A bit of a frustrating day working on the computer. It was hard to read, though I managed. I've read others reports from the 1-3 week range saying that the artificial tears gave a brief improvement in vision, and I've found the same. I get one or two noticeably clearer minutes. As a result I'm plowing through the tears at quite a rate, probably every twenty minutes while I'm at the computer. Which the doc told me is just fine, in fact it helps the healing. I'm using the rest of my preservative-free drops first. They're fairly expensive but I'm happy to pay a few dollars for any acceleration of the timeline. I've also got a bunch of cheaper drops with preservatives which I haven't tried yet.
I was out last night. I could have driven. I'll still try to avoid it for a bit if I can. Sign reading is still a bit dicey.
I'll switch to weekly updates from here. Apologies to any readers on the dullness of these reports. Basically I'm forcing myself to keep a record so I can see what the progress has actually been. Also I found that these types of running journals on other blogs to be very helpful, so maybe mine will be of similar use to others considering or recovering from PRK.
Comfort: Hitting the artificial tears as hard as ever. Otherwise fine.
Photosensitivity: Only bright sun and direct glare (as off wet streets)
Target: Both eyes: 72 inches. Right eye: 72 inches. Left eye: 57 inches.
Closeup vision: not so great today.
Driving: OK, not night driving yet.
Working: Did it, but it was tough.
