One year later

I suppose that I should follow up with long term results. It's now well over 1 year since the original surgery. Earlier this year (2010), I went in for a touch-up procedure on my right eye. Ever since then, my vision has been crystal clear. When my doctor finally cleared me (it was a long, frustrating recovery), my left eye was 20/20 and my right eye was 20/10. Funny enough that my left eye has relaxed a bit, now that it doesn't have to be the dominant one. I notice it the most at night, when my eyes are tired.

Despite the recovery time, I would do the surgery over again. My eyes have never felt healthier. No more red eye, no more irritation. Going from 20/400 and 20/600 to 20/20 in both is definitely worth it. I don't even need the eye drops anymore.
