Dr. Opth’s tests today showed my eye pressure is back to normal. The redness on the right side of my eye is better, too. I’m getting a little tired of the dilation though because my eye’s still so light-sensitive. Yes, my eye’s still dilated!

Okay, now I’m upset. During my appointment, Dr. Opth took one of the sample bottles he had given me and put 3 drops in my eye. Then he said I don’t have to use this drop anymore. My mouth dropped open. This is the $65 prescription drug and I haven’t even opened the new bottle yet because I was still using the sample. Argh! Dr. Opth suggested I try to return it to Wal-Mart since I haven’t even opened the box.

It’s weird to look at my eye. The area that was removed with surgery is really, really white. You can’t really see the edges and I never have been able to see them, even right after surgery. What’s funny is that it’s only been 2 weeks and my eye looks normal to people. Instead of the surgical area being the worst-looking, it’s the best. Tonight I wore eye make-up for the first time.

Although this surgery was more aggressive, my appearance is much better much sooner than before. Ironic!
