Day 9 Post-Op (June 29)

We head to the Moorfields office located in Abu Dhabi (inside the ICLDC building). The doctor there told me that there was still an epithelial defect (i.e. the epithelial layer has not yet healed) and phones up my original doctor in Dubai who advised him to put back the bandage contact lens. I tell him I have no problem. He tells me the problem is that they don’t have any bandage contact lens in stock in Abu Dhabi….WHAT! I have to drive all the way to Dubai AGAIN!

….1+ hours later we’re in Dubai and they placed a PureVision contact lens in my eyes. The doctor noted in his report that after 1 week they should be removed if the epithelial layer has healed. So I assumed after 1 week I will be contact lens free and with better vision. Oh how wrong my thoughts were.
