Some notes:
- 20/25 in my left eye, 20/30 in my right. As every PRK blog ever has said, it feels blurrier than the numbers say.
- Cleared to drive today
- Cleared to use the cheaper and more numerous artificial tears
- Cleared to exercise vigourously tomorrow (T+4)
- Cleared to remove sunglasses on Wednesday (T+5)
- Don't need to do my checkup tomorrow, so next checkup is next Tuesday
- Walked to work to see how I'd do at work, and I can conclude I'm not ready for work yet. That's ok, I have tomorrow off at least, and enough vacation and/or sick days to extend my time off until I'm good.
- I notice that my vision is much better indoors than outdoors. Since there is still apparently some rough spots on the eye, I assume this is because when my pupil dilates indoors, it uses a greater fraction of older epithelium. Outdoors, it's using much more still-rough area. With that said, I don't think I'll feel comfortable driving with my current outdoor vision.
Apparently the #1 priority for healing now that the bandage is off is to keep the eye very well lubricated. The cells on the eye are still very delicate, so having my eyelid dry onto them could do some damage. For that purpose, they gave me a variety of viscosities of artificial tears.
