I went back for my 3 week check up yesterday and I am already at 20/20. It still bounces up and down a bit. When I am at work and staring at the screen for a long time it gets fuzzy and I just have to take a break. This was the best decision I have made! I was very scared because I was told by the doctor that I would hate them for a few weeks; not my case at all. I did my surgery on a 3 day weekend; that was a good decision because my 3rd day was the really only bad day that I had. The doctor yesterday was very impressed on how fast my recovery went! :) Chris CR

My eyesight is great. I'm not sure what my vision is but it has been getting better everyweek and still improving. I'm 3 months and a few weeks in and it's still getting better. I go back to the doctor in a couple of weeks so I'll give more updates then. Peace Hi everybody…I am so grateful that I had the surgery. My eyesight is great.

Not really bad pain; I have not taken any pain meds today. I am at the point where I can see, however I am "swimming in the pool". It burns a bit & looks like I need to clean my contacts. We'll see what day 3 brings on. :) CR

These stories have been great. I hope that I have a fast recovery time like others. A little worried about the color reading part. Will keep everyone up to date with everything as well. Great blog Brian ... 2 years later still going. CR

I am at 25 days after PRK surgery and my up close vision is still wonderful but my intermediate and distant is still blurry or fuzzy or hazy. I am driving and the signs are still blurry until I get right up on them and then I can make them out somewhat. I am finding when I squint I can see a little better. I am still using the steriod drops 4 times a day. Thanks again and I will let you all know how my doc appontmenat goes on the 20th Jan. Cheers everyone and hang in there :-) v/r Jerry Phillip and Guillermo,

One month and one day since my PRK surgery. My right eye seems to be in really good shape, but my left eye has been healing much more slowly. If i cover my right eye, it is still blurry and probably due to under correction. When i cover my left eye, i am in real good shape. Have been a bit concerned up until about two days ago when i started seeing more clearly than in the weeks prior and today i was driving reading the signs further down the freeway than i have been able to in the previous weeks. So this is positive and am very more excited. I see well up close but as i spend too much time in front of the computer i do feel a bit of pressure and need to lubricate them a bit. At night, it has been a challenge due to the "halo" affect, but that seems to be getting a bit better in past few days as well. So seems like something kicked in and am healing better in my left eye. :^) Every once and a while i will feel some pressure at night in my left eye. maybe it is hyper healing, but not to a point where i have lost much sleep. Hopefully this will continue. I see the doc again on Jan 13th so will update after that. Thanks to all for proving your experiences, it definitely has kept me inspired and hopefully this post gives some hope also. my last message was December 15th and today is now January 9th.

I had CustomVue PRK done on 12/9/09 and yesterday was the 4 week point. I'm still seeing a fuzzy 20/40 based on my own eye charts I have hung at my house. I'm seeing some double vision in my right eye and a little in the left, and overall I've yet to have the miraculous experience of those reaching 20/10. I can squint and see a little clearer which makes me think that I was undercorrected, but who knows. I'm certainly not a doc...just trying to think logically. I go to the doc today to get an eval and see how the healing is coming. I'm expecting to be one of those either requiring an enhancement or still needing glasses. Jerry, don't feel alone. It seems like you and I are in a similar boat with distance vision still being fuzzy. I'm also talking with another person who had it done about the same time frame and she's waiting for her distance vision clarity to improve as well. I'll jump on later and submit an update after my doc visit. Cheers. I’ll jump on here too. I had CustomVue PRK done on 12/9/09 and yesterday was the 4 week point.
