So glad that it all went well!

I had a DALK 8 years ago, though it seems like only yesterday! A lot of friends here have got really good vision which is brilliant! Hoping yours goes as well too. Mine went well but my vision hasn't really improved. This is because I have a lot of scarring which is still there.

Recovery is a long process, but you are getting there! Best of luck with it and be gentle with yourself.

Thank you all!

Today is my first day at work after the surgery. I´ll start slow and work (office) four hours each day for atleast two more weeks. I have a understanding employer and I can take a break when I need one. This far, my vision has been improving a little each day and the "fog" is gone. My vision is still very blurry though, but now it is close to the vision I had pre-op (with glasses). My eye still feels dry and I try to soak it with artificial tears as often as I can. My doctor removed the stiche´s "knot" which was causing a bleeding (I´m still red) on my eye white just above the Iris and under the top eyelid.

I wish you all a great week!
