Comments on: My Recovery From PRK Surgery http://blog.seangursky.com/2009/06/my-recovery-from-prk-surgery Breaking ground since 1997 Mon, 30 Jan 2012 01:46:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Sean http://blog.seangursky.com/2009/06/my-recovery-from-prk-surgery/comment-page-1#comment-3852 Sean Tue, 15 Mar 2011 20:27:54 +0000 http://blog.seangursky.com/?p=415#comment-3852 I think preparing for your recovery would be wise. Things like filling any prescriptions (perhaps ones given by your PRK surgeon) and gathering entertainment for your days of recovery is a good use of your time. Personally, I charged an old iPod and added audio books onto it. I wasn't able to watch TV immediately following the surgery so I picked activities that weren't visual. To help in your recovery buy peas to put in the freezer (to place them on your eyes when they are sore) or get any other groceries you may need for the time you're locked away (if you live with someone else then this may not be that critical). As far as preparing for the surgery I found the procedure to be fairly quick. It's only natural to be nervous leading up to the surgery but the medication should take the edge off and before you know it you'll be out. Be patient and know it won't be an immediate result so hang in there and good luck! I think preparing for your recovery would be wise.

Things with the eyes are going fine, I just posted another update. When things are going well and I do not have any vision concerns I find my updates about the surgery are fewer apart. Your situation does sound frustrating. After four weeks you would hope to have a little more stability with the eyes. I found that when I had concerns with my vision the surgeon had a very nonchalant/casual attitude about it, so I had to remind myself that if he wasn't concerned about the slowness of my recovery then I wouldn't be. When I read that the full effects of the PRK surgery aren't known until three (or more) months after surgery I prepared myself for the long haul. Hang in there, I hope it works itself out for you and you will be able to see soon enough. Thanks for the comment. Things with the eyes are going fine, I just posted another update.

I'm on my 26th post-prk surg day and everything is still blurry except from whatever is between my eyes and 4-5 feet from them that is really sharp like when i used my corrective glasses. Last week my vision was 20/30 - 20/15 and 20/20 using both eyes but you know that is not really truth since everything is still blurry. The Doc says I'm fine and the expected results are already acomplished now is time to wait for the healing process to take place and clear things out for me... Let me know any update on you hope everything is ok. Hey Sean how’s everything so far?
