Is there an eyelash in my eye, for *#(@ sake?
Vision today iss the same as it's been for the past few days (clear in the morning, right eye deteriorates first, both eyes struggle to read and work on the computer throughout the day), but today I finally became concerned about a foreign body sensation in my right eye. After many eye drops and near constant checking my eye in the mirror, I had to admit there there was nothing there and something else was amiss. I called the laser eye center and spoke with the doctor I am scheduled to see for my 2 week follow up tomorrow. He not-so-reassuringly told me that he couldn't tell over the phone whether I should be alarmed (annoying, but being a lawyer I do understand his need for the disclaimer), but that I should certainly keep my appointment tomorrow and should stop taking the steroid drop inthe meantime. He said many people notice a difference in their vision and comfort after even one night without the steroid drops, and that we may opt to change my routine up after a break. I have read that the steroid drops are actually designed to slow your healing so that you don't develop corneal haze and to help maintain the desired correction, but I'm pretty curious now and intend to ask to the doctor tomorrrow.
