The first 2 days were very rough, I'm not gonna lie. There is nothing you can do but sleep. I had some audiobooks and podcasts prepared for the recovery process but they proved very difficult to listen to as I was so focused on my eyes throbbing, there is a constant irritation that is present even when my eyes felt the most soothed from the eyedrops. I was only given enough painkillers for the first day in hindsight I should have kept some more for the follow up day.
Approximately 15 hours after the surgery I had a follow up appointment with the Doctor to check my eyes, he told me they were very inflamed so I'm assuming that means the first day might've been a bit rougher for me than usual.
As of today (Day 4) I have no real discomfort but my vision is very blurry. I've got the huge dark glasses they gave me on and I'm squinting with the page zoomed in to 300% of normal. My eyes get tired after looking at light sources for a while and the eye drops are a relief. Tomorrow morning I will be getting the contacts out I'm very much looking forward to that.
