Three weeks
I returned to the Doctor today for my 3 week post op checkup. All looks good (sorry for the pun.)
I've cracked the 20/30 line on the chart. I was able to see two letters on that line with a little blinking and concentration. The people in the office continue to use phrases like "that's great," "looks excellent," and other superlatives. I can only assume that things are going very well.
I've been cleared to exercise, bike riding, walking, etc. No lifting that "makes you grunt." That's clear -- the sit ups will have to wait. But, I will get to do some more activity.
I also asked about driving. Dr. Carson said that legally my vision was good enough, but I should only drive in the best conditions. That's fine, I haven't actually had any situations where not being able to drive was a huge problem.
My driver's license vision test is early next month. Bad timing. We will have to see what happens. Might be a little awkward if I'm asked why I haven't driven for a month. "Oh, I haven't trusted my vision, but I should be able to pass this vision test."
