Journal Journal: LASIK Journal: Day Five

Woke up this morning and all was fine. Pretty much the same as yesterday. Again I am still a little worried that my left eye is fuzzy compared to the right. I felt OK most of the day. I was able to play games on my desktop. However, I still have trouble with all text (black on bright white background is/was too much). But that didn't matter for the games, which is what I do 90% on the desktop anyway. ;) Nothing new otherwise - left eye blurrier than right.

Journal Journal: LASIK Journal: Day Four

Nothing really to report. Not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I woke up this morning and my eyes would open fine. That was good. Most of the itch is gone - I REALLY have to remind myself to use the rewetting drops. The bad part is that my left eye is still fuzzier than the right. I don't know if it is a glare thing or the prescription level is worse than before. The papers they gave me say they can drift in and out and it is normal - but it has been a day straight being the same.

Journal Journal: LASIK Journal: Day Three (Part Two)

Just got back a little early. Our hostess had to kick us out because she has some kind of qualification examination at 0800. Anyway, I sure am glad that Kat drove us home. I never would have been able to make it out of Baltimore. Everything seems clear enough (no contrast problems like some people have experienced). However any direct light source looks like it is extremely misty outside. The really bright stuff (yellow turn signals from behind cars, oncoming headlights) was actually physical

Journal Journal: LASIK Journal: Day Three

Well, I woke up this morning thinking somebody was robbing the house. Not really related to my eyes, except that when I awoke to the sounds I couldn't open my eyes. They were so dry and gooey that I seriously couldn't open them. I kept them closed for a few minutes trying to wiggle them to produce tears. Eventually I was able to open them up. (BTW, nobody was in my house who wasn't supposed to be!)

Day 2 - 10 Apr

I woke up and the haze is still there. Nowhere near as much thankfully. My eyes don't burn or anything, only when I put in the medicine (4x daily). My right eye seems to be the worse - it is more hazy and I have a burst blood vessel there. No that is not painful at all. I had my first followup this morning. I was able to drive myself (thankfully since Kat had to work). It didn't really hit me until I was on the highway - I could read the street signs way down the road per

Day 1 - 9 Apr 03 (Typed 10 Apr 03)

Well, yesterday I took the LASIK plunge. Figured I would put my experiences here for all the world to see.

First off, a little background. I'm 26, and have had glasses since about 12. They were only a -3.00 (I dunno what that is in 20/xx). But I was sick of them. I did a LOT of homework and decided to give it a try. I consider myself a very lucky person ('cept when I go to AC,NJ), so I played my odds.
