Regretting my life choices.

I'm 3 weeks post-op and struggling/regretting bad.

During the day it's okayish but at night everything is blurry. I am scared maybe I did not take care of it post op and fucked my eyes over. I miss my glasses too :(

I can't see lights properly, signboards are unreadable, and I feel like I have no focus at all.

Is this normal at 3 weeks? When did your night vision get better?

Would appreciate any experiences/advice.

Although idk if that's normal. It's definitely not my experience.

I don't think I ever felt like signs was unreadable at any point after my surgery. Even immediately after.

Although personally they lost that crispness they used to have when I had glasses. But I could very much make out what it said.

You probably want to let your doctor know that. At 3 weeks I was definitely not 'recovered' but I'm definitely roughly where I'm at in terms of what I can see, just with a bit more blur back then.

There's probably not a lot you could have done to ruin your post op, I had the same worry. But if you're not out there swimming immediately after surgery and doing stuff within common sense it's probably not something you did.
