41. Vision finally improving!
Fri Jul 7, 2017, 09:35 AM
Jul 2017

The pressure in the tank distorts, I think, your lenses, or the shape of your eyeballs. I read that it could take 6 to 8 weeks to return fully, but it's been very frustrating. Near vision remained fine, but mid-range and far have been so blurry (and my normal vision requires strong correction as it was).
Today I looked across the room at the TV and am able to see it more clearly. Oh huzzah for that! I had limited my driving to my nearby market, and along with what I THINK is some sort of arthritis in my hip, it's felt like I was almost in prison.
