As I haven’t posted an update on my Laser Eye Surgery Diary since my surgery day, which can be found HERE, I thought I’d post a short update on how things are going two weeks after my surgery. I mentioned in my surgery update that I was due to go back to Optical Express the day after, and one week after my surgery day just to check everything was A Ok. After the first week of recovery I did notice that my eyes were no longer improving as quickly as they had done the day after my surgery.
Though, I did expect this as the biggest improvement in your vision is seen after the surgery day itself. Following this, I noticed that my vision wasn’t as clear as I would have hoped, and my vision was still blurry. Now this might just be me being really picky, and I can’t really complain as I no longer need to grab my glasses to see – I can actually see perfectly without needing to wear glasses, however, it’s more when I’m trying to read signs. Like when I’m travelling to work, I can’t see the signs in the underground that well.
As my prescription was relatively high, this doesn’t come to a surprise to me as it can sometimes take up to 3 months for your vision to fully restore. And for now, it honestly doesn’t feel like I’m blind, I can go about my day to day life. The staff at Optical Express however, were very helpful during the consultations and check ups, and would happily answer all questions asked. It was nice to also ask questions to staff who had gone through the procedures, as they know what you are going through.
I have another consultation booked for 2 weeks time, so hopefully there will be some improvement to my vision.
