Eye Surgery Update

Aug 16, 2005 18:21

I should have posted this sooner, but I called the cute eye doctor last Friday. He told me that it was normal for my pupil to not have contracted yet this soon after the surgery, and that I shouldn't expect it to for about a week. So, I've still been wearing the funky shades that fit over my glasses. That is, I've been wearing them until last night. My pupil has begun to react to light again. Today at work I went all day without wearing my shades, and it was nice. Granted, I set my monitors' brightness levels down to zero, but it was still nice.

With the disappearance of the light sensitivity issue, the only thing left to bother me is the blurriness. I have to wait until the 2nd of September before I can get new glasses. Until then, I can't really read anything printed in normal size--which means I can't read any of my books. I think that this is how my mom and grandma must feel when they try to find just the right distance to put print away from their faces so that they can read. Only in my case, there is no right distance. I can read monitors just fine, because I can (and do) change the font size. I suppose that this is one advantage of e-books that I hadn't thought of before now.

My eye looks better too. It is no longer the Baleful Eye of Sauron. It merely looks very bloodshot.
