[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 799345, member: 33046"] Coyboy I'm beyond having to wear an eye patch. I actually only had to wear it one day after surgery but, I had to wear it for a week while sleeping. What wasn't easy the first couple weeks, was to set on the edge of a chair, rest my elbows on my knees holding my head and look straight down at the floor for four (4) hours a day. That was tough but I did it for the time required. I had to see one of the associate surgeons the second day after surgery, which was when I was asked about my "normal" activities with a lot of questions. Then came the restrictions placed on me. So for the last seven weeks, its been basically nothing. I was just released from most of my restrictions except..... [U]no shooting[/U] and no lifting for two more months or, until he feels the eye has completely healed. I didn't have a clue how long this would take to fully recover but, its something that I have to complete. Reality can hit pretty hard..... I've only had one issue since the surgery, which was what he called adaptive spasms, which cause considerable pain. More pain than one wants to tolerate. Basically caused from all the trauma of the detachment, tear, then the surgery on top of that. Putting me back on one of the prescription eye drops resolved that issue. I've worn glasses or contact for over 50 years and this surgery really changed my vision. Although I wear disposable contacts almost exclusively, the prescription changed in that eye from -3.25 to a -5, a significant difference. The current problem is, that they can't totally clear the vision while the eye is still healing and I'm using drops. So it'll be at the end of the 2 months (I guess) when things may be corrected properly. I did though and with the watchful observation of the wife, take the .17HMR out and play with the scope adjustment. If the eye and vision clarity don't improve any further, I can still adjust the scope and see clear. Lets just hope I can hit those long range targets with the muzz.... gun) [/QUOTE]
