I flew to Seattle yesterday, a 90 minute flight each way. The plane air was dry, but I didn't notice anything extraordinary relative to my vision -- no discomfort, no worse dryness, etc.

I had a hard time seeing things on a whiteboard about 20 feet away; ditto for a projected computer image. In general, my vision feels like that of a slightly near-sighted person.

Also, while I can read with no serious difficulty, it does feel like I have a slightly harder time focusing. Maybe my eyes are healing at different rates?

I found a page on the FDA Website describing what to expect before, during, and after surgery. A chart says I should expect blurry vision for only 1 week, though it does say vision fluctuates for up to 4 weeks. My doctor told me to expect blurry vision for 2-3 weeks, maybe longer.

Also: today is the last day I need to use the antiobiotics and steroids. Hurrah. Despite the 4-times-a-day regimen of 3 different kinds of drops, I never got good at it.
