After just one night’s use of the lenses, my vision in my right eye was 20/20 this morning, much to the eye doctor’s amazement. While there was considerable improvement in my left eye, it wasn’t quite as dramatic, though that’s only to be expected, given that it’s the eye in which I have an astigmatism, and that even with glasses I was only ever able to get it to 20/25.
The improvement will wear off in the course of the day, but eventually it will last longer, and it was sufficient that I felt confident to drive without wearing my glasses, something I never would have dared to do just a day ago.
Because my eyes responded so well, I only have to wear the lenses in a 3 on, 1 off pattern, as opposed to the usual 5 on, 1 off.
I’m having a little bit of difficulty adjusting to actually being able to see. It’s as though my brain can’t accept the fact that my eyes are able to see without glasses. It’s similar to what I went through when I first got contacts.
The lenses didn’t bother me at all while I was sleeping, but they do require a little bit more finagling to take out than my regular contacts, but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it.
