9 months day - Sunday 13.12.2015

Dear readers

Today is 9 months since I did my TransPRK (popular name is "no-cut", the most modern version of PRK) eye laser surgery. I should point out to my US readers that there is only one eye laser system who can do this surgery: the Schwind Amaris laser system from Germany. This system is not yet FDA approved so if you want to do this one you have to fly to Europe.

So to my eyes. Vision still excellent! That's great. I guess the only problem I have is that I am still a little bit dry in my eyes, especially when I sit 10+ hours in front of my computer screens in the office or when drinking alcohol. However, one drop of lubricant "Protagent" fixes this problem. I still drop relativity frequent, maybe once per hour, but I think I drop more then I really need to be on the safe side. I have hopes that I can stop with drops within 3-6 months.

As information for you anyone considering eye laser I should point out that you loose 60% of the nerves regulating the tear film when you do laser. It can take up to 2 years after PRK and up to 5 years after LASIK before all your nerves have grown back. 

Ok! This was all for this time. Next update  will be at the 10 months day.
