My next appointment is March 4th as a pre op for removing the silicone oil. March 19th will be the procedure for removing the oil. I'll have a gas bubble put in to stabilize the eye. I'll have to lie flat on my stomach for a week or so while the bubble dissolves and natural fluids go back in the eye.

There's finally some light at the end of this very dark tunnel. I'm glad I have the great people on this forum for support. I'm a bit of an oddball in real life, and don't have many friends, but I do have plenty of acquaintances. I'm trained in science and can write pretty well, something I think most guys don't want to do. I have been confused with a biker on numerous occasions.

Thanks to everyone for being my friend on this forum.

Lets goooo! Recovery time should be alot better shouldn't it?

I've read 2 to 4 weeks. I hope that's true. Thanks for the support.

My recovery is almost complete. I had a good checkup today and go back next month. I may end up getting glasses/contact lenses sometime this summer.

I thought I'd pass this along.

I'm feeling fine. The vision will take a couple months to recover, and then I may have to get glasses.

Thanks for asking.

I would rather do Lasik over Contact Lenses anyway but from what I hear it's expensive.

My doctor's appointment had good news today. I can resume my normal life and make an appointment for glasses and contact lenses. The eye is healing well.

Thanks for the support during this time.
