3 weeks and a day Macguyver test

Left eye:
12pt: 87% (previous best: 81%. Glasses: 67%)
18pt: 100% (previous best: 97.5%. Glasses: 97%)
All others 100%

Hooray, a new record for both 12pt and 18pt. Still a little ghosting, but clearly not enough to really impede my vision. If we're ranking vision by how functional it is, then I'm clearly well past my old glasses, and consistently so. Of the last 5 tests I've done, 4 of them have had the 12pt percentage higher than I could achieve with that eye with glasses.

Now for the right eye, which has ever exceeded its old with-glasses acuity...

Right eye:
12pt: 90.3% (previous best: 80%. Glasses: 91%)
All others 100%

Close, but not quite there yet. The right eye felt a bit funny today. It felt like I just couldn't see enough detail to make the 12pt letters out, but I guess I could still see enough. I know when I did this with glasses it wasn't a cakewalk either, so I can't say that the fact I have to really strain to make out the 12pt letters is unusual. But it felt like the right eye struggled more to get its 90% than the left eye did to get 87%

All in all, a pretty happy outcome, especially considering I did this at 5pm when things have typically gotten a bit worse compared to mornings.

I did my first country-roads driving at night last night, and it was a little annoying. I definitely have starbursts around bright point sources when my pupils are dilated and they can be distracting, though they don't really interfere with actually seeing things. Also, I can't be sure they're worse than artifacts I used to get at night with my glasses on. The first time I was outside at night post-op, I thought things looked much BETTER, so I can only assume that my artifacts now are better than my artifacts then. It's just that a few more weeks of having fairly good vision has made me more of a connasseur of fine, artifact-free seeing.

Today I came across a stand of reading glasses while doing Christmas shopping and tried them out. The +1.0 glasses really helped my ~2cm to ~5cm range of vision, which I'm otherwise not really able to focus anymore.
