Congratulations Crakerjacker! We're all hoping for a good result for you this time round. And great pics. I'm sure my eyes looked a lot more bloodshot than that immediately after the ops, so I wouldn't worry. And it'll look clear as day after a week or so. Watering eye is also pretty standard - and, as you say, for you a good sign that you're producing lots of tears! When do you go back for your first check-up? Wishing you nothing but good news for Round 2.
Anne

Couldn't say, but if you are worried, phone the clinic.

All the best

My consultant has called me and said it is some blood trapped between the cornea and the membrane. He said nothing to worry about and will come out once the membrane has dissolved. Will udate blog again tomorrow
