For the first time, in as long as I can remember, I can read the clock on my bedside table. I WAS severely nearsighted. But no longer. The moment I sat up on the surgical table I read the clock. It was 2:20 pm. Then I was told to go home and take a nap. Things were a little blurry, kinda like I was walking under water. And everything had a haze around it. They tell me this is normal and will fade. They were right. After my nap I woke up seeing very clear. My eyes are a little sore (like after a hangover). And I have very bad dryness. It feels like I slept in contacts and they are stuck firmly to my eye balls. I have antibiotic drops for a few days and Systane drops for three months. Small price to pay for sight! When I went in on Saturday, the day after the surgery, I tested at 20/25. I was at 20/1200 prior to surgery. BIG difference.
I am having a little trouble seeing up close and it is hurting my eyes to work on the computer. But I am sure that will change soon. Today is Sunday and I plan to drive in a little while. HOPEFULLY that will go well. Thank your Dr. Gans and your very kind staff!

Wow. That's pretty darn exciting. I'm going to look into this very seriously in about a year.
The trouble seeing close things such as the computer might just be old age kicking in.
