Here are the details.
Ater a day of work yesterday, not much change: much clearer vision in my left eye, pretty consistently blurry vision in my right. If I needed to see something on the screen or on the whiteboard clearly, I'd just use my left eye. I told my coworkers that I was just adjusting to my post-LASIK vision, not giving them the evil eye. They joked that I'd make a good pirate. Arrrrr.
Being in a familiar environment where I needed to see medium-distance objects (like projector images and whiteboard scrawling) in detail, I could tell my left eye was much better. I could see whiteboards from across the room.
I was hopeful that the right eye blurriness was mostly due to the lens being in there, though I did have moments of doubt: why would a clear lens cause so much blurriness?
Happily, my paranoia was unwarranted. Dr. Lee took off the lens today using a pair of what he called jeweler's forceps -- though I'm sure they're of the medical variety, as they came shrink wrapped in the plastic you see other surgical gear wrapped in. He took a close look under the bright lights and declared the eye much better than the day after the surgery.
And I felt it too: as soon as the lens came off, I could see more clearly, so, um, clearly, the lens itself was causing some blurriness. :-) Dr. Lee said that was expected.
He didn't do a detailed one-eye-at-a-time check, but he did show me the parade of successively shrinking rows of letters, and based on that cursory check, I'm seeing slightly bette than 20/20. We'll see what the exact measurements are when I go for my follow-up next week. Assuming the right eye continues on its rapid healing, I'll be able to start doing my followups with Darren in Foster City again. Hurrah.

Well done on a nice blog Frank. I was searching for information on cost of lasik eye surgery and came across your post Friday followup - not quite what I was looking for related to cost of lasik eye surgery but very interesting all the same!
Well it's a new year and this is the year when I hope to be completing my studies in opthalmology, which includes a thesis on upcoming laser eye surgery technology and improved eye health. I'm also planning to take a course on the excima laser, which should be fun.
If you do have a moment, please take a look at my new site on: LASIK eye surgery . It explains how I got my own vision back after Lasik surgery.
A very happy and prosperous new year to you and yours! Philip
