About a month ago, for a period of about 2 weeks, my left eye was giving me seriously bad double vision. I would wake up fine but after starting work (staring at the computer screens) my vision would turn bad and stay like that for the rest of the day. I was close to calling Ultralase and saying, what’s going on?? But since then, everything has become really clear again. My vision only goes slightly off if I really stare at the screen too long or am really tired but can still see everything fine.

So I’m quite happy with the result. Another check up next month – not sure if that’s the last one or if there’s one more. Laser eye surgery should be made available to everyone. I think most people with glasses/contacts just get used to it but you don’t know what you’re missing until you get given your eyesight back!

I’ve booked another check up in 3 months.

I’ve never been in the habit of making new year’s resolutions but I decided at the end of last year to try and pursue an MBA (Master of Business Administration) to improve my managerial skills. It just seems like an appropriate thing to do at this point in my career, even if I may not be in a position to be a manager. I also want to improve my Japanese and possibly take the new JLPT N3 exam next December – still waiting for results from my last exam. What else…try and save money for my own house (been doing this for years and getting no where) and just to enjoy life e.g. travel.

My eye sight is pretty good now about 7 weeks post surgery. I’ve been glasses free, well, ever since surgery. My right eye doesn’t seem to be as sharp as my left but with both eyes combined, I can see pretty well. Been relying less and less on the eye drops which is a good thing and have another checkup this week!

Every morning I wake up and put the lights on, I’m able to see all the patterns in the wallpaper my parents decided to put up in my room whilst I was working abroad. Thanks Mum and Dad, flowery patterns are something I always wanted in my room. Ah well, that’s life.
