Ok, so after the freaky day yesterday, it looks like today was a bit better. I do think I still have a very slight ghosting in the left, but it definitely wasn't as pronounced as it was yesterday. Actually today I felt like I saw better than I had been in the last week.
All these up and down fluctuations have been pretty stressful. The things I keep in mind though is that it's still early in the healing process. A lot of the research that I've done suggests that vision doesn't even start settling until week 4. The other thing is that my vision is pretty darn good with both eyes open, and since my right eye is still more than perfect, it's a good compromise. Also, I do have good days. I have to keep reminding myself of this, but that's a positive as well.
One weird thing I discovered this week is that when I put tearing drops in my eye, my vision clears up for maybe 30 seconds. Like crystal clear...20/20. I did research on why this happens. I guess after lasik, your eye has a lot of micro-tears that will eventually heal. When you put drops in the eye, it actually fills in all these tears, and smooths out the lens (thus clearing the vision). Of course, when the drops dry up, the clear vision goes away. :( So, yet, another possible positive if this is the case. The other reason is that the drops thicken the lens which can clear the vision as well...of course, if this is the case, then healing may not help. Hopefully the former is the case.
Anyways, wanted to post this after last night's debacle. Same story...they weren't kidding about possible fluctuations!
