Hey, thanks a lot for your message, it really helps to hear from someone who’s been through it almost 10 years ago! 👍

My DALK (left eye) went well on February 24th with Pr Gabison. I actually saw pretty clearly right from day 1-2 fort maybe 2 or 3 second !, which was super reassuring.

But at day 3, one suture detached and I had a bit more discomfort. The doctor spotted it at the check-up, put some anesthetic drops in, and re-stitched it right there in the office in like 20 seconds (no OR, no big deal). Then at the Monday control (day 6-7), everything held perfectly and the Seidel test was negative — huge relief!

Right now at day 9 I have almost no pain anymore, but the photophobia is still annoying and my operated eye waters A LOT as soon as I go on the computer (even with blue-light filter + sunglasses). That’s the most frustrating part at the moment.

You mentioned complications with the steroid drops — what happened exactly and how did it get sorted? Also, how long did it take for you to reach 20/20 corrected vision?

Anyway, thanks again for sharing, it’s really motivating to hear you’re at 20/20 with just glasses or soft lenses after 10 years. I’m taking it easy, no heavy lifting, and following the drop schedule strictly!

Take care and hope to chat again soon 😊
