Laser Eye Surgery
Day 6
Went for my next check up today and they took out the contact lenses. Good news is that it feels much better, not having that constant dry contact lens feeling. I managed to drive there today. Things are still not crystal clear but I can see things in the distance quite well. Later in the … Continue reading
Day 4
72 hours after treatment, I’ve stopped taking the pain tablets and just using the eye drops now. Vision has improved quite a lot in the left eye and is improving in the right eye. There still a blur over my right eye and I can definitely feel the contact lens as I blink/open my eyes. … Continue reading
Post treatment: 48-60 hours
Eyes feeling much better now. Am able to open them naturally after keeping them closed most the afternoon. Left eye seems to be improving but right eye is just one blur. I’m wondering if it’s the contact lens… Still can’t do much. Just able to write this post on my iPhone. Just imagine what it’s … Continue reading
Third day
I literally typed my last post blind. They said that on the third day post LASEK treatment, vision tends to dip. Well I’m about 50 hours post treatment and I would have to say my vision is worse than the previous two days. I’m still having trouble opening my eyes but now when I do … Continue reading
Post treatment: 24-48 hours
At my 24 hour check up, the doctor said my eyes were healing very nicely. My main concern was how soon they could take out the “bandage” contact lenses. They were prooving to be causing me a lot of discomfort. It seems they will have to stay in until Wednesday which is my next check … Continue reading
Post treatment: 4-24 hours
After getting hungry, I forced myself to get up. I could see enough to do things but my vision was still quite blurry. I had the TV on but didn’t really watch it. The first 12 hours were actually quite hard for me to keep my eye open. I could open them, but it would … Continue reading
Post treatment: 0-3 hours
It was a typical grey rainy day so I didn’t feel the particular need to use my sunglasses on the way home. I did keep my eyes closed in the taxi for the entire journey home – felt a little car sick too but good thing I live locally. My eyes were starting to feel … Continue reading
LASEK
As some of you may know, I had my laser eye treatment yesterday. I’m still in the early stages of recovering so I’m typing these blog posts blind! I just got bored of lying in bed. Yesterday morning, I went to Ultralase Cambridge. I was bookd in to get LASEK Ultra Elite treatment at a … Continue reading
Laser eye consultation
I mentioned briefly about a month ago that I booked a laser eye consultation. Today, I went to Ultralase in Cambridge to get my eyes checked out. In short, they said my tests and scans showed I was highly suitable for the LASEK Ultra Elite surgery. I had already done my research so I didn’t … Continue reading
Back to school
So it’s September already, weather’s cooled down and I’ve finally (more or less) been able to settle back down to life in Cambridge. I’ve decided to apply for the JLPT level 3 exam this December. I’ve not done a single hour of study since late April but I’m hoping I can put in one or … Continue reading
