It’s been a while since I posted about this. Since I last posted, I received the pair of custom lenses and have been wearing them on a regular basis until now. People often ask whether I can see with the lenses in. Yes, they correct the vision even during the acclimatization period, so if you [...]

Another OOK update
Went in for the followup, after wearing the trial pair of lenses for 9 days. Even though the right lens is still sitting slightly off-center, we decided to go ahead with the custom pair of lenses, since the time required to do another round of trial lenses just seems like too much bother.

They’re still a little bit off-center in the right eye, but it’s close enough that the treatment zone should cover the pupil. I’m starting the 10-day wear period today to see how they are [...]

Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to playing L4D tomorrow night. In case I haven’t mentioned it, go buy Left4Dead, it’s really a hell of a lot of fun. 4-player [...]
