5 weeks after surgery

The air bubble in my eye is getting smaller. It is covering less than half of my vision now. My vision is getting brighter but still veil. At times, I can see, although blurry, but clearer without much debris. My eye is not as red as wo weeks ago. I also feel less irritation.

My doctor told me that I could sleep on my right occassionaly but strictly not facing up. At least, it would not be so sore for me sleeping only on left side. :) The first 10 days sleeping strictly on left side was a terrible experience.

On October 20, I started to drive. I went out for a business appointment alone in the car. At that time, my stereoscopic vision was still not at par. I had to judge the distance using cues like the broken lines on the road, lamp posts and etc. Last week my stereoscopic vision was getting better as my vision on both eyes were overlapping closer.

It is more comfortable to drive in day time compare to night time. At night, lights from the cars and lamp posts reflect on the surface of the air bubble giving me two images and leaving two long vertical tails on every light I see.

I trimmed my nails myself today. These improvement makes me feel like a normal person again although I am still temprorary a partially disabled person. :) It was frightening to think about having total lost of vision even on one eye.
