My eyes tested at 20/25 this morning. Both still have slight astigmatism, which may or may not go away. But I really only notice it with things in the distance

The flaps look good.

The only thing of concern is my right eye and the sensation of something being in it. If it persists I am to call my eye doctor to let him know.

But I have a theory about my right eye (and why it's just the right one, I don't know)... When I went into the eye dr's this morning, my eye felt ok. The feeling of something being in it was very, very minor, almost unnoticeable. At that point, the only eye drops I had used were the rewetting drops, none of the medicated ones. They were both slightly dry, but otherwise nothing uncomfortable.

On the way to work from the eye dr's office, I started putting in my medicated eye drops. I could see better while driving this morning than I have all week. After about an hour after I got to work, my right eye started feeling extremely dry, and the sensation of something being in it came back noticeably.

So, I figure it's either a combination of the medicated eye drops and my office's internal environment, or just my office's internal environment. I guess I will find out on Monday which of those holds true, as today was officially the last full day I have to take the medicated eye drops.

Technically I can stop wearing the goggles while I sleep at night, too, but I think I'm going to keep wearing those for just a couple nights more for my own peace of mind.
