Vision is blurry, doesn&#8217;t seem to be improving. Can&#8217;t see things close up; can&#8217;t see them at a distance. Fortunately, still no pain in the eyes. Mild stinging prevails. Tearing is less than yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>I could sit on the couch and see the larger Weather Channel text and the state outlines. After my evening eye drops, I could read all but the smallest text. OK. Maybe they are getting better. I also reminded myself that for reading, I&#8217;ve been wearing bifocals for the last three years. I haven&#8217;t picked up reading glasses yet. So, perhaps, I should expect some difficulty there.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m backing off a couple of the medications. I haven&#8217;t had any nausea, so I&#8217;m cutting that one out. I&#8217;m also cutting the narcotic back from four to three times per day. The drops are all required, so I&#8217;m sticking with them.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve increased font size on the computer screen, and that makes it easier to work on-line. It&#8217;s like I have waxed paper over my eyes. That could be the bandage contact lens. If these were my contacts, I&#8217;d take them out and clean them or replace them. It doesn&#8217;t work that way with the bandage contact. If that&#8217;s the case, when they remove the bandage contacts on Friday morning, I ought revel in clarity. I hope so, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>To recap:  I suspect my concerns are unfounded.  I&#8217;m chalking it all up to dirty bandage contact lenses and not having reading glasses.  Advice to patient: stay calm until Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frustrating day for me. Vision is blurry, doesn&#8217;t seem to be improving.
