Days 8, 9, and 10 after PRK are going OK. My left eye is doing really well, but unfortunately my right eye, which is also my dominant eye, fluctuates quite a bit. Right at the end of last Friday, it seemed to catch up and even surpass my left eye, and on Saturday (Day 8), I could see pretty well. I don't remember that much about day 9 (Sunday), but yesterday kind of sucked. If I cover my right eye, I can read pretty easily with my left, but put them together, and the right casts fuzziness over everything. From what I've read, this is *normal*. But, a lot of opthamologists don't want to talk about that. They pretty much say that you'll be good to go after a week. For garden variety distance tasks (driving, etc.,) you will be, but reading can be difficult at times. I had a good sized headache when I finished work yesterday, and it may have been related to some sinus issues, but it wouldn't be out of the question that having to read with the wonky right eye might have something to do with it.
My friend Penny tells me that it'll be a month before I'll be able to read well. I'm OK with that, but I wish my eye doctor had mentioned that. I've thought about going pirate style, with an eye patch over my right eye, so as to relieve stress in the interim.
