Post-op Day 2

My left eye is starting to feel better, but I had a really hard time seeing today and lots of halos.  Still really light sensitive. Happened upon an eye chart at the Science Centre we took the kids to and the vision is still like 20/80-20/100 :(

Post-op Day 1

Post op day 1 update: I woke up at 5am (and by the way, it was light out!) excited to see with my new eyes. Unfortunately I was still very dilated so it was not much different from when I went to bed. So I went back to sleep. Woke up at 830am and the halos were much better, still there but not as significant, and the dilation was finally starting to wear off. I did not have that "wow!" Moment I read about on all the blogs - my vision was still very blurry. I can get around just fine but can't read anything at a distance and the up close vision was still blurry from the dilation. Went to the day 1 post op appointment which was supposed to just be with the optometrist. Turns out I'm only seeing about 20/80-20/100.

Post-op Day 0 PM update

I've been resting most of the day. Took several naps (not sure if it's the Ativan, the lack of sleep, eye fatigue , or a combo). Needing to keep the shades on even in the dark room with the curtains drawn. Netflix is on in the background but it's hard to watch for too long. I considered an audiobook but that would surely put me to sleep. I'm feeling good though! No pain at all, just a ton of light sensitivity, itchy dry eyes that I want to rub but can't , and blurred vision. There are massive halos around entering with a hint of light to it, but that's to be expected considering how dilated my eyes still are. Hoping I'll wake up tomorrow with the dilation worn off and I can actually start to get a feel for the vision! A lot of other people (even with worse vision than mine prior to surgery) report having HD vision and many are seeing better than 20/20. My dr said that's not the most realistic goal but that I can hope for 20/25 in my left eye and close t
