Back and forth
My break from the steroid (FML) drops was short lived. I had a checkup on Wednesday and the bad news was that my hunch re: my visual acuity was correct; I'd regressed and was only seeing 20/80. However, I was healing well and infection-free, so the doctor recommended I continue with the steroid drops four times a day. He predicted improved vision at my follow-up in a week, but I was skeptical. Now I'm thinking his prediction may prove true. Yesterday I felt a slight improvement in my vision, though my vision was certainly still not at it's post-surgery high point of 20/30. This morning brought noticable improvement, and I just pushed the computer screen back a bit on my desk. I continue to use the Refresh drops constantly, as my doctor said they speed healing whether my eyes feel dry or not. I'm feeling hopeful!
