my right eyes great, left is slightly more inflammed and said the hazy part will heal, and not to over analize it like I am, and keep cupping one and and reading then cupping the other...and just keep using the pred forte drops (anti inflammitory) and today last day on zymar for infection protection.

I was easily able to read 20/20 with my right eye and slightly with the left. and with both eyes I was about to read 20/15 and almost alble to read 20/10. I think once it heals I will be able to read 20/15 easily and possibly 20/10.

Cant wait til the hazy goes away in the left eye! I told him i felt crosseyed or like i had in a bad contact, and he said yea its kinda like your looking thru a misty field. and i was like YEA! I hate it haha. and assured me it would go away, because my eyes look great under the microscope machines they use to zoom in.

(Wanting glasses: If your reading this, how'd the surgery go????)

Hey Scion,
The procedure was barely anything to worry about! My left eye was a little sore with the suction ring thing but, that is just because I have small eyelids and features. Otherwise, I now realize how hyped up it was in my head and how simple it was after all! Thank you for all of your calming and pep talking words! The cool thing, and probably very helpful, was that the office I had mine done actually does the procedures in like a fishbowl kind of room where everyone outside can watch all the procedures being done. I didn't even notice it when I was there for my exam. I think I might be glad I didn't because I might have chickened out. But, as I sat and waited for my procedure yesterday, I must have watched 15 - 20 procedures. The first 5 freaked me out. I finally saw the clam thing they use to keep your eye lids open. That looked painful but, wasn't.
The first 2 procedures he did that I saw, he used a pick kind of thing to cut the cornea. Then, he switched to the suction ring. Thank God because the pick thing was freaking me out. I don't know why he used the pick thing. Didn't ask. I was just glad to have the suction ring thing for my procedure.
Anyway, did your doctor have it so you could view others procedures? I thinkg all doctors should have that. It really does help to see the patient go through it and come out all calm, cool and collected like they just got a foot massage! Hehehe!

Anyway, Thank you again for all of your kind words!
I hope you are doing well. I wouldn't worry about the slight blurriness. I can't remember if you said or not but, the eye that is bothering you might have had more correction needed then the other one. That is what is going on with mine. No big deal! I have no fears at all that my eyes will adjust and be perfect given some healing time! Stay calm. If you had something to worry about, I am sure your doctor would tell you.
Thanks again!
