Blake's Eye Surgery

Blake had his surgery on December 4th. The surgery went well, but he is not healing as quickly as I did. When he returned for his second follow-up visit on Monday, December 8th, he was not seeing clearly, had a dry spot in his left eye, and was told that his cells were growing back wavy; therefore, he had to keep the contact in his left eye to protect it. He returned for two additional visits last week. His left eye is improving, but the progress is slow.

At his appointment this morning, the contact was removed, but the dry spot is still there. Last week, his vision was 20/70 in his right eye. Today, he was able to read 20/20 with his right eye, but it was still fuzzy. So, we know that his right eye is healing and improving. His left eye is still bothering him. The dry spot is hurting him, so he is going to have to go back to have a contact put into his eye to protect it.

Thank you for your prayers, calls, and emails. Please pray that his left eye heals and that his vision is 20/20 in both eyes very soon.
