3 week update

Still not much to report. I'm not sure if my starbursts at night are getting worse or if the rest of my vision is getting better so that they're becoming more annoying, but I am noticing them more. I wish I had characterized what my nighttime artifacts were before I had the surgery. I know I had them, but now I can't really compare whether things are better or worse. I'm going to assume they're better, because the first time I was out at night post-surgery I had starbursts and still thought the night looked way better than it used to.

My left eye this morning is a little weaker than my right, which has become normal. My right eye is extremely clear right now, which is cool.

General status update:
Ghosts: No, though sometimes I get them on point sources of light like christmas lights.
Day-to-day vision fluctuations: Not really
Morning-to-evening vision fluctuations: Sometimes, but very mild
Chunks of dried eyedrops pulled out of eyelashes: Plenty, especially if I use the liquigel eyeball-grease before (and during) sleep
Lubrication: Haven't needed lubricating eyedrops very much, though I had one fairly dry day this week where I needed a couple drops during the day and a drop at night
Phantom glasses: I still look for and occasionally remove my nonexistent glasses before and after showers, bed, and workouts. This shows no sign of improving
Driving: Driving is way better without glasses.
Close vision: I noticed I stop being able to focus on things a bit farther away from my face than I used to, which is expected and fine. No-one needs to focus 4cm away.
Visual acuity: I'll do a macguyver test tomorrow. Not expecting much improvement.
