March 8th

Went to the doctor today. No noticeable change, afaik, since the last time I met with them.

They did more examinations; visual acuity, slit lamp, another one with concentric rings and flashing lights, and I can't remember what it's named.

Apparently I'm seeing at 20/40 and 20/30, for my left and right eyes, respectively.  When you hear about 20/20 or whatever vision, it's probably important to keep in mind that it doesn't account for things like persistent double-vision or blinding glare.  Decent vision in this sense doesn't account for the fact that I, for example, am all but blinded by headlights at night as starbursts obscure my vision.

My doctor suggested that I could use glasses in the meantime, and that they would prepare lenses for me (to be inserted into the frames I used before the surgery.) When I asked if the glasses would be able to help reduce the glare and ghosting I've been experiencing, he said that they should help.He said that they should increase my confidence and help with night vision issues (and night time is when these issues are at their worst for me.) I am hopeful but reserved.

May all of your days be bright.
