I am 5 days post LASIK surgery for monovision. During the surgery, the flap on my distance eye broke suction. I have already had 2 follow up appointments and am reading at 20/20. The flap has attached itself perfectly, but I am now unable to see distance. Anything across the room is completely blurry. I cannot see street signs until I am right next to them. I can't even see the license plate of the vehicle right in front of me. I have not tried driving at night.
45 yr-old had Lasik monovision 1.5 year ago. Left eye was left -1.25 on purpose. Dominant right eye was undercorrected by -0.50 and -0.25 astigmatism. Distance vision is a bit weak. However I also noticed closeup vision reduction when trying contact to fully correct right eye. My dr can do PRK enhancement on right eye (not lasik). I'd like a second opinion: 1. Is it worthwhile to get PRK to fully correct my right eye? 2. Would it be possible to get PRK only correct half prescription of right eye eg. 0.3?
44 yr old analyst had Lasik monovision 7 months ago. (prior PWR - 7.5, CYL -1 both eyes) Achieved targeted Right eye 0 diopter , Left eye - 1.5 diopters after OP. At 3 month post-OP, Right eye regressed to -0.5 and the Left to - 1.75. I feel some depth perception discomfort and blurriness due to dry eyes. 1. How much more regression would occur? 2. Would the amount of monovision cause eye strain and accelerate regression? 3. Is an enhancement worthwhile to improve left eye by 0.5 or 0.75 now?
I had the first monovision done on 7/5/17. I was so myopic in my left eye I couldn't read the big E on the chart. Everything was distorted and blurry. When I questioned my opthamologist about my eye being over corrected, she said it wasn't. It definately was! She never explained any side effects (like dry eyes or it takes time to adjust to monovision). I had a revision done 9 days ago and the distortion is gone but my left eye is still blurry. I am so disgusted.
I had Lasik in 1999 at the age of 43 (they gave me monovision). In 2014 my retina detached in the distance eye. I am now legally blind in that eye. Can I have the right (close up vision eye) changed back to regular vision?
I'm 38 and I already had one eye LASIK 2 weeks ago which I obtain 20/20 vision. I have problem seeing close. If I do Lasik on the the remaining eye for -1.25, will it prevent me having to wear reading glasses later? (I don't need reading glasses currently) Will it be difficult for me to work seeing close? Also, would you rather treat both eyes to 20/20 and worry about reading glasses later or go with the option mention above? What is the pro and con?
I got my Smile Monovision Laser Vision correction surgery 8 days ago. My far site eye, which is the right eye, got better, but my left eye which is for near vision, is actually got worse than before surgery. I realized that my right eye gradually got better from day 1, but no improvement on the left side until now. My doctor said near site vision would be slower to recover. If I try to read a book, I can only read book title on the cover page, nothing else. Is this normal?
