I guess I totally forgot about this blog. Her one week check-up shows that one eye is 20/20 the other is close to 20/20. Now that it's three weeks later, I have no doubt that she can see 20/20 in both eyes. We used the eye chart app for the IPAD and she can easily read the 9th line on it. She can make out only some letters on the 10th line (the 20/15 line).
The day after surgery, every light source had extreme halos. She is seeing some halos still with her eyes which were not there before. However, the halos had lessen more and more every day. The halos if most likely the reason why she's not able to read the 10th line. She can make out obvious letters but certain curved ones still glow too much.
Her dry eye is extremely minimal. She would have to remind herself to use the artificial tear because she often forgets. Her one month check up is coming up. We're still holding out for 20/15 once the halos go away. That could be up to three months away.
Why are we shooting for 20/15? The reason is 20/20 is only average human vision and not "perfect" which is a misconception most people have. 20/15 is very good. True perfect human vision is probably 20/12-20/10. It's very rare to have vision anywhere close to 20/10 but 20/15 is the gold standard for "perfect" human vision.
