Getting rid of eye bags at last

I was having issues with posting a photo the other day, looks like the site’s update feature needs some improvements… anyways I feel like I’m “back to normal” with my eyes. I’m able to finally put on my contacts again which is a big deal for me. I don’t really like wearing glasses anymore and I can’t wear shades when it’s too bright for my eyes. The region where my tear ducts are near my nose still feels a little numb which I understand gets better over time. No more crusty eyes in the morning but still get occasional tearing up if I strain my eyes during work. Really happy with the results so far! I don’t think it’s gonna change much in the next few weeks but will post an update in a month or so.

Today I can say that I feel good about myself… swelling has died down and my eyes are still a bit crusty when I woke up, but it’s a lot less dry and irritated. I occasionally dab with a cold compress since it feels nice and refreshing. I am still getting used to my new look, and so happy not to see my eyebags anymore! Looking forward to the next few weeks as I heal.

My eyes definitely look a bit better now…
Good things:
- I’m back to driving, doing regular activities such as doing chores and working from home, as long as it’s not physically straining.
- I can take showers but not let water run over my eyes. This is a bit challenging to do, but avoiding water on the eyes is a must! Cause it hurts if you do!
The not so good:
- Still a bit teary-eyed every now and then. I keep a cold compress with me at all times and use it on occasion when I find that I’m getting some irritation.
- Sleeping on my back and in an angle is not that easy but is also a must. I still wake up with crusty bits on my eyes due to tears drying up.
