I had my 1-month followup appointment last Saturday. Darren says my corneas as healing nicely. I'm still seeing roughly 20/35 or 20/40 depending on the eye -- the right eye is noticeably worse than my left, which corresponds to my everyday observation too.

This mostly translates into needing to be closer to the screen or whiteboard at work. I have a hard time making out the smaller fonts on PowerPoint presentations or product demos.

I'll consider getting glasses to hold me over until they do the followup procedure, but it's probably about 2 months away -- so might not be worth the hassle.

I did learn that some of the halos I'm (still) seeing are a result of some astigamatism that the surgery has yet to take care of. Darren showed me a light spot both with and without a lens correcting for astigmastism -- and the "without" light had a noticeable halo surrounding it.

Darren moved into a new space one building east from where he was. It's a much more pleasant, well lit space, so I'm sure he and his partner will be happy there. When I went this weekend, they were just installing their custom cabinetry. Darren examined me in a makeshift exam room one room down from where they'll actually be when everything gets set up.
