When did you notice the difference after refractive lens exchange?

PATRICIA WINFIELD DISCUSSES HOW LONG IT TOOK HER TO SEE A DIFFERENCE AFTER SURGERY

The realization of the impact from surgery and bearing in mind, this was after I’d had just one eye done, which is my left eye, I woke up in the morning.

My husband turned the television on in bed. News came on. Looked at the telly. Could read. I read some things that came up, and it suddenly hit me, I thought, “Gosh, I can see the television,” which I haven’t been able to do without either glasses or contact lenses on.

I covered my right eye, realized I could see it quite clearly with my left eye. Covered my left eye, and realized that everything was a blur, so that was probably the first realization of the impact of the surgery.

I had the second eye done five days later, and it’s been brilliant. I wake up in the morning, I can see everything.
