Week 2 summary.

The right eye is coming along. As mentioned in other blogs, the eye works better in the AM than in the PM. I believe this is b/c the eye lid puts pressure on the eye ball overnight and that I notice the better vision as the new cells grow in first thing in the AM. Probably the new cells dry out by the end of the day, and the eye expands a tad to reduce the gains. My theory;completely unscientific.
So how am I seeing? I see okay. I can see the back-lit letters on the PC ok with my corrected eye. Not perfect. There's ghosting. I would expect that if I waiting another week or two, that the switch from left eye patched to right eye covered would be seamless, but I'm getting impatient.
I do notice from using the patch how much the brain seems to rely on combining the input from both eyes. I figure that the beauty of doing both eyes is that the brain can make a pretty decent picture from both recovering eyes after about 10 days. So, I am gambling that I will be fully functional after about 7-10 days and will have saved a week or two of waiting.

14 days in:
Patience factor: 2 eyes: 1 1 eye-at-a-time: 0
