Great stuff John!! Glad it was easy and went ok.

I had the blade which probably took 5 - 8 seconds per eye once the suction
thingy etc was in place. I must admit that that was the most worrying part
for me too. It didn't feel real nice although wasn't painful. I was glad
when it was done though. The laser part isn't so bad is it.

Hopefully the halo's will go. Mine haven't although I think they are
slightly better than they were in the first 2 weeks. I can live with them.
Got no choice anyway

Same here although I remember having a bit of pain after about 5 hours.
After a sleep it was gone.

Mine were Left 20/15 and Right 20/20 I think the next day. They improved to
20/10 in both after 3 weeks so chances are yours may improve yet. Mine felt
ackward for the first weeks - like a new pair of glasses - takes a while
getting used to. I had some eye strain too when using the computer for too
long. That lasted for a month or so I think. Now it doesn't seem to be a
problem.
> Today is day two and near vision is almost perfect.
Good your near vision is still ok. My close up focus distance compared to
when wearing glasses has moved probably 3 inches away but I can still read
virtually anything so far. I am 44 so guess it won't last that much longer.
What age are you?

Keep piling the drops in. They reckon even the lubrication ones are very
important in healing so put up with it.
All the best John, keep us informed of your progress.

Wal
