My eyes, indeed.
The Dr. said there was a reason people don't walk into their office and request PRK laser surgery. It hurts. Big time.
The first three days are the worst and he was right. I never thought I would feel the exact orb of my eyeball burning with stabbing delight.
Yesterday was day 4 and there was amazing improvement. The world still looks blurry, like it's been smeared with vaseline, but at least I don't want to rip my eyeballs out of my head.
Today I go in to have the contact "bandages" taken off by the optometrist. I'm hoping the smeary-ness will be lessened & I can see some real improvement. Though when my vision was tested at the one day mark, I was at 20/40. Quite an improvement from 20/400.
It's still frustrating staring out at the world through a blur. And no heavy reading. Sheesh! What else am I supposed to do? I also have a DVD of the procedure. Spence said it's really cool, but I don't know if I'll ever bring myself to watch it.

Oh eww... I don't mind the surgery itself, but I couldn't watch it. I hope you have some more vast improvements in the next day! 20/40 is great!
You need books on CD! ;)
Contact bandages? What are those?? Glad you are getting to the healing part, the improvement is worth it!
Wait... I see, PRK laser surgery. I had Lasik. No bandages. I've heard some doctors prefer PRK over lasik for various reasons. Whew... I thought you'd just had a bad lasik experience! Still, so happy you're getting better vision. It is nice!
eeeeeee! I can't stop cringing. and feeling sorry for you. I've got to google that surgery (not a video) of what that surgery is because I have no idea what you are talking about.
