Day 38 Post-Op (July 28)

Things are improving day by day but the cloudiness/haze is still there.  The haze switches from one eye to the other randomly, so sometimes my right eye is clearer while the left eye is very cloudy.  Generally speaking during the first weeks of recovery my right eye was the morning eye and the left eye was the afternoon eye (in terms of clarity).  Recently however, the trend has flipped and my left eye is the morning one.

Here is some interesting information as well: The corneal epithelial cells are the fastest reproducing cells in the human body and quickly regenerate.

Hmm...it's been almost 40 days and they have yet to heal.  Most patients heal within 2-5 days so I guess there may be some truth to that infomation.  I wonder why it takes longer to heal in my case.  Could it be nutrition?  There has been some research that consuming 1000mg of Vitamin C post-op accelerates the epithelial regeneration.. I've been taking Vitamin C for more than a month now with no immediate results (but gotta say I like the orange flavor).

I also wonder if the whole issue is perhaps the combination of LASEK and the Corneal Cross-Linking, combined with all the anesthetic drops during the operations and the nasty cold I was still recovering from when I did the surgery.
