Pictures of my eye (10 weeks and 5 days after opperation)

Here's a picture of my eye taken about a week(?) after the operation.
And here it is again today:


It's a lot clearer, which is why the stiches are much more visible. In news that is not so good, today the vision corrected with glasses was only 6/9. My optometrist said that if this didn't improve it would be "disappointing", however he was not confident that it would improve a lot. 6/9 is (just) good enough to drive a car and isn't a disaster - but I was hoping it would be better. Its also not as comfortable as I would like, but the optometrist is confident that as the last of the healing completes it will become more comfortable.

My astigmatism today was still 2.75 - however the axis it was on had rotated somewhat. I will go back in two weeks and see if it has stabilised enough for me to get glasses prescribed.
Yes their is blue light shining on my eye! :)
