First, thank you to everyone who has checked in after reading my last post! I appreciate it! I just wanted to write a quick update about the progress my eyes have made in the last few weeks.
A few days after my last post I went to my first follow-up appointment, at which I expected to receive a new glasses prescription. Unfortunately, though the swelling in my corneas had gone down, my eyes were still much too dry to get a good reading on my prescription. The dr. concluded that the dryness was most likely a side effect of the drops he had prescribed me. He suggested discontinuing their use and continuing with artificial tears several times a day and coming back in 3 days.
Soooo... Last Saturday I returned for another follow-up and.... My eyes are healthy! I was able to get a new pair of glasses and some prescription sunglasses as well. They should be available sometime next week. In the meantime, I'm happy to announce that as my eyes have healed my vision has gotten significantly clearer and I am seeing comfortably with an old pair of glasses! Yay!
