Month 1 – 12th July to 19th July

Today I went for my ONE MONTH post procedure checkup. Anxious as ever for the eye test, I reached a little early. I handed in my file and waited. Before they could finish calling my name, I was in the seat staring up at the eye test board. The light came on.

A E R K V

Piece of cake. Move along, move along.

Any strain? Nope.
Nothing smaller? Nope.
All correct? Yep.
What about halos around lights in dim lighting? 95% gone.

As were the burst blood vessel marks. I had 20/20 vision. A super success. All good news until…

The doctor said my eyes were dry despite the drops. Yes, I know my eyes were dry despite the drops. I could feel my eyes dry despite the drops. I could see my eyes were dry despite the drops. He said not to worry and that’ll pass in two weeks if I just blink more often and use this eye gel. A promotion, if you will. From drops to gel.

Sorry but I hate applying things on my body let alone on my eye balls. Lubricating gel, twice a day (morning lubrication and lubrication at night) Not to mention, the lubricating drops in between as I desired for extra lubricating. With all this lubrication, I felt so lucky.

Nights, my eyes were still dry and my right eye especially gets red even after an hour of the gel which should last half a day.

Please check back here in a week and I’ll let you know how it goes. Dry eye is a very common problem which is easily treatable but I uh, yeah this is me we’re talking about.
