6/10/09 - Eye Hurts

Just so that I didn't get too cocky about this whole process, over the past couple of days, my operated eye has been very achy...

My personal theory is that it is either a) a dryness issue with the new contact lens or b) a oxygen deprivation issue with the new contact lens.

I started putting in rewetting drops this morning, which hopefully will help if it is a dryness issue and I have an appointment with Dr. Watanabe in about a week if the problems persist. This morning does not feel too bad, but it has been getting worse throughout the day. Again, I am crossing my fingers that I don't have any issue with wearing a contact in that eye as this would have been a pretty crappy process to go through to end up not being able to see.

In any event, I am going to keep a positive attitude on it as I am sure that there are a lot of options, etc. for dealing with the eye and worrying is not going to get me anywhere in the interim...

    going around with vison in one eye only stinks
