Day Two

Vision is still pretty clear...but my left eye is definitely not as good as my right. I've been continuing a lot comparisons between the two, like looking at books, clocks, lights, etc with each eye. In each case, it was quite a bit blurrier using just my left eye.

I've been looking a lot on internet. There are a lot of comments on various forums and blogs like this one about people who get weird fluctuations after lasik. In a lot of cases people are seeing 20/40 or 20/60...but after a few weeks or months they are seeing almost perfectly. I'm probably still close to 20/20 with my right and 20/25 with left...so I can't complain too loudly. It is still a little concerning. All I can think about is whether I stared at the correct light during surgery or if I moved my eye...or maybe they mapped me incorrectly. Very freaky.

So, I did what any geek would do. I printed out a Snellen eye chart (the one with the big E at the top) and taped it on the wall. I stood about 20 feet away and tried to read the 20/20 line. Just like at the post op, it was a bit blurry, but I could sorta read it. The left was much blurrier and the only way to read it is if I used my brilliant powers of deduction.

Again, all the reading materials say that fluctuations are expected. Becky reiterated this...then she took my eye chart off the wall and hid it from me. sad :(
