Take your medicine!

Puck42,

How are you doing now after PRK? I am scheduled for my surgery Monday the 19th and am very excited / nervous. How has your recovery been?

Sweet man, I'm glad it hasn't been too bad for you. I will give a rundown of my procedure once it is over and I can see well enough to look at my computer screen.

Wish me luck!

I just got home from having PRK. My eyes are slightly gritty and burny but that was expected. The procedure itself was very quick and the doctor that performed it was very good and kept talking to me the whole time. I just wish someone had given me a heads up that the gnarly smell was coming from the laser and not my eyes. They told me that after the fact during my post op when I asked what that smell was.

Now my percocet is starting to kick in and I think I'm going to go listen to some audiobooks with my eyes closed and try and get some rest.

Today is day 3 post op from my PRK surgery. My corneas have healed to a point where the bandage contacts have come out. What a relief that is. They were getting kind of funky. I am amazed at what I can see now and I'm not even close to being fully healed. Things kind of come in and out of focus, but I'm told that is part of the healing process and will go away eventually. I am so happy with the results so far and things are only going to get better from here.
