Eyes checkup

One month after cataract surgery and Crystalens implant in my left eye and one week after the same in my right eye, the report is mostly good. I have 20/20 vision at all distances, even a little better in the right eye at close range. However, both eyes have inflammation. The doctor says this is to be expected in the right eye because it has only been a week since surgery, but he has no explanation for the inflammation still in the left eye. His comment was "You're not a normal person." Some would say that's obvious. (That phrasing sounds just like Ed would say it.)

Nothing to panic or be worried about, the doc says. He thinks the blurriness I am experiencing is from the inflammation and expects that to improve in the next two weeks. Increasing the frequency of eye drops is the only thing to do about it. As of today, I'm down to two kinds of drops for each eye and I instill drops four times a day. He says having blurriness come and go is not what others who achieved the great vision I have have reported. I'm to be patient and give it all time to improve. I start eye exercises today. They really aren't anything special. I have 6 booklets of word search puzzles, each booklet in succession a smaller print. I'm to do the puzzles 10 minutes at a time twice a day, and after the 10 minutes look at least 10 feet away and focus hard on something. This is supposed to strengthen the eye muscle and teach it to move the Crystalens forwards and backwards the way a natural lens would move in response to viewing conditions. However, I haven't had a problem adjusting to viewing distance except for the blurriness, especially at longer distances. So I'll see what happens--pun intended.
