Lasik followup

One short lasik followup. It is now 3 days after the surgery. I'm still putting the antibiotic drops and the anti inflammatory drops in my eye (you do that for 7 days starting a day before the surgery). My use of the artificial tear drops has gone way down. I only used them twice in each eye on Wednesday, once on Thursday and so far I haven't needed them at all today.

A couple interesting things involved with the surgery:
You can't face the shower; you have to let the water hit the back of your head.
You have eye shields that you wear for 7 days while you sleep to make sure you don't rub your eyes.
You can't rub or touch your eyes for 2 months (yes months)

Also I bought a pair of these glasses so that I don't accidentally rub my eye at work without thinking. I just like having something there to remind me to not be an idiot. I actually do like reading computer screens with them as it softens the light a little.
