After I put the lenses in last night, they were uncomfortable for a few minutes, but settled down to a reasonable sense of “there’s something in my eye.” I slept well, and by the morning, the lenses were pretty comfortable. Not a soft contact, by any means, but reasonable. Had some trouble with the left lens, it popped out twice after I woke up, mostly because I was touching the eye.
Just got back from the optical appointment. Some good, and a few minorly bad points. The right eye is down to -1.25, from around -3.0, the left is down to about -2.5, from around -3.5. The right eye has a patch of dryness on it, and the lenses seem to be adhering to the eye a bit more than is optimal. I’m supposed to use the lubricating drops when I wake up, and wait a bit for them to lubricate things before I try to take the lens out.
The left lens appears to have had a small bit of debris underneath it when I put it back in after having it pop out this morning, which caused a some micro-abrasions. They should be healed up by this evening, but they worried the doctor. I’m supposed to be more careful about that in the future and use the eye drops today.
I’m wearing a temporary set of contacts right now, but hopefully won’t need them tomorrow. Vision should be pretty good after the next day or two.
