Hi tealeaf,
Sorry it's taken me so long to respond. Things have been really busy from me so I haven't had much time to get on DEZ. For whatever reason my right lens just isn't quite as comfortable as it was before my surgery. The discomfort is a bit hard to describe. It isn't like any of the sensations that I would consider to be normal as far as discomfort related to feeling the lens in your eye. It's just a weird feeling that is kind of a discomfort and kinda-maybe a bit painful sometimes after several hours of wear. I know this is a vague explanation, but living with chronic eye pain makes it hard to figure out what is pain, what is normal, what is discomfort, and so on. This feeling is different than anything in my left eye so I think it is most likely surgery related. I mainly use the lens to help me out in social situations or when I'm in meetings. Then I'll take it out and resort to moisture chambers and using one eye for most of the day when I'm on the computer at work. My wear times can get up to 6-8 hours depending on the event without too much of a problem. I might be able to wear the lens more, but I'm admittedly a bit gun shy now after my most recent surgery so I'm trying not to push it. But overall it still helps me to keep an element of normalcy in my life.
On the tightness front, I was able to get some improvement in tightness from a lens that Dr. G crafted for me that has channels in the lens that make it easier to remove. So that's been good.
Going back down there was not the perfect fix but I'm still very glad I went. I really hope you have some good results.
Good Luck!
