Eye Update

Well yesterday I again underwent surgery on my eye to try to obtain good vision. They finally had decided that my eye was done healing from the lasik surgery and I could undergo the PRK to try to fix the astigmatism it had given me in my right eye. This surgery is more painful and irritating than the last. It also doesn't have that immediate result that lasik has in regards to your sight so I won't know till it is done healing. This surgery does not involve lifting the flap in your eye. Instead they sweep aside surface cells and use the laser to resurface the eye. Then you wear a bandage contact over the area they burned off till cells come together and heal underneath it. They have basically been saying it is like having a rug burn on your eye. If you can imagine. They gave me Vidodin, but so far I have not had to use it. The first day was ok. Today has been more irritating. It feels like I have had mascara in my eye most of the day. I took some Tylenol to try to stave if off. I have either been able to distract myself and ignore it or maybe the Tylenol is helping a little. Well hopefully it doesn't hurt more than this and it only gets better. Especially since I am leaving for Phoenix, AZ to see Shane on Sunday. The doctor is coming into the clinic just for me on Sunday to remove my bandage contact before I go. I hope all goes well.
