Just to update - I had my 3 week check up last Wednesday, and everything is fab! I've still got a bit of dryness, so have been supplied with more drops, but overall its much less uncomfortable than wearing contact lenses. To be fair, I never really had a huge problem with contacts other than losing them, I just kind of got used to my eyes feeling slightly odd and never really thought much of it. I think the main reason I notice the slight dryness more now is because I'm conscious of not being able to rub my eyes!

I've been driving with no problems since day 4, and was told at the recent check up that I can now resume swimming, kayaking etc so I'm really pleased about that as I was expecting to have to stay out of water for much longer.

The 'smeariness' I mentioned has gone, apparently that was do to with my tear film, and even night vision is a lot better.

Overall really, really pleased and well worth the cash and stress!!
