He (a guy in optometry? amazing) said:
-My left eye has a smidgen of prescription (in the nearsightedness direction) left in it
-My right eye is dead on 0.0 prescription
-My eye pressures have gone from 13 three weeks ago to 18 now. While still being in the normal range, they're summoning me back next week to see if they continue that upward trajectory, and if so I'll get to cut back on the steroid drops
-I kinda already knew this from the web, but the steroid drop schedule is a bit of an art. Nobody really knows how many steroid drops are necessary to prevent hazing, especially with the newer lasers that make smoother ablations from the cornea. He said some places tell people to only take them for a week, and TLC actually used to do 1 month at each drop level (a month at 4 drops/day, then 3, then 2, then 1) and have cut that to 1 week.
Forgot to ask to get a 20/whatever rating, I'll get one next week.
