good to hear. I'm just freaking out about my vis. it was pretty good the first two days with starbursts and slight halo's. Now my left eye is blurry and seeing almost doubleand they are both super sensitive to light. haha I just gotta be confident in it;s getting better. Had to type with my eyes closed so sorry for any spelling errors.

Don't recommend seeking medical advice from the folks on this forum - bunch of yahoo aviators (and I is one). However, wife is eye doc and suggests getting on the horn with your surgeon. PRK has a longer recovery than LASIK, but I wouldn't mess around trying to figure out if that is the issue. Don't be afraid to ask direct questions to your doctor, it is your eyesight and their job.

Went in to get the bandage contacts out and got most of my questions answered. Vision is getting better daily and night vision is already much clearer. I just need to be a little more patient. Haha, I appreciate the words, yahoo or not.

2 weeks elapsed since surgery. Seeing at least 20/25 both eyes, good night vision and ghosting is very rare. Still getting some tired eyes but to my understanding that's normal. Been doing some civilian flying the last couple days as part of my degree and I am seeing better than I ever did with glasses. Down to just an anti inflamatory and antibiotic drop in each eye 4 times a day and the antibiotic ends tomorrow. Pretty pumped on this, so far I am very happy. Thanks for all the advice to calm my nerves!
