That's great news Tim - glad to hear you got it sorted so quickly.

Glad to hear that the news was good Tom. I've been thinking about you over the course of the week and hoping (and praying) that all would be alright. I am (as I'm sure you are as well) looking forward to you being back at the bench.

Good news indeed sir.

Sorry, late to the party.
Good to know your getting back on track. I would rather loose just about anything else but my sight, although I hear hearing is the worst, no pun intended. Eyes heal rather quickly so you should be good as rain soon.

I called the nurse back because there ere 2 questions I had forgotten to ask before I left.

1 - could I use natural tear drops (Thera Tears) - answer was yes

2 - knowing the beating I got from my eye from laser surgery, how long will my eye clear up. I also told her I was still seeing residual floaters in my vision.
Answer to both is a week for the eye to clear up, 3 weeks for residual floaters to disappear on its own.

I’m still a bit achy in my eye and a bit blurry which I expected to be. Since I was able to work today, I wore my glasses while I’m on the road. Normally, I don’t wear them except for distances, watching tv or going to the movies. Still the floaters were not dark as I had been experiencing from the start. Annoying as hell though. Had to blink my right eye a few times to move them out of my vision the best I could.

Scary ordeal! I'm glad you are on the mend!

I'm so thrilled to read this; Thank God for prayers answered! Hang in there and take care of that eye. We'll see you when you can see better.

Time for an update from my follow-up eye doctor appointment. Despite of having my eyes "abused" once again, with pressure drops and dilating my right eye for pictures, everything went well. My vison was clearer than when all the crap started 3 weeks ago. Mentioned the doc of my concerns with clear floaters with halos. He told me I will always have floaters no matter what. He assured me they will clear up more over time. He did mention I could have them removed but I told him no but rather let it diminish on their own. He agreed that was the best course of action. I go back in 3 months.
