[eyes] so it took me by complete surprise
when my heart got lost
in those deep green eyes
I think the most amusing thing I have had to get used to is that I'm not green-eyed anymore. Before you ask: no, the surgery didn't change the color; the reason they was green before is because I had blue tinted contacts. Their real color is closer to hazel.
It's been two weeks now, so here's the update.
I don't have another doctor appointment for another 3 weeks, but last appointment Dr Ross told me to use more eyedrops to hopefully smooth out the surface of my eye as it heals. So I've been putting in drops pretty much whenever I think about it. The only difference I've noticed is that I now am much more aware of my eyes being slightly dry.
My effective vision is still 20/20, as my left eye naturally takes over the job of seeing anything that is too blurry for my right eye. Right is probably still around 20/30. Vision seems to be fairly stable in both eyes.
I went to a nightclub for the first time last weekend, with an overall dim interior and some smoke, and spotlights here and there. I loved it, as I could see so much better than when I had contacts! The only problem was that my eyes dried out fairly quickly, probably both from the air blowing around and from the light contrast.
I have noticed that my eyes tend to get tired much more quickly in high contrast or fairly bright lights. It shows up clearly when I am driving, because the contrast of streetlights and dark road means I have to concentrate pretty hard on focusing my eyes to keep everything very clear. After 10 minutes or so, I can feel them start to want to close and stop concentrating so hard. When my eyes are tired, brighter lights seem to give me a mild headache, which goes away pretty quickly if the light is dimmed.
It is odd to get ready for bed and realize I can still see the clock as I turn off the light. I am suddenly aware of the extra things I have. What in the world do I do with my old contacts? I can get rid of all or most of my contact cases. Does anybody want any solution? (Boston, conditioning, soap, and all-in-one, for gas perm lenses) I will get rid of at least one of my old glasses once I find a place to donate them to.
Still no regrets. I wish my right eye would go ahead and heal better, but I'm not bad off now. I hope my eyes gain back more tearing ability, as the dryness is mildly annoying, but it is still tolerable.
I love seeing.
