Blurry vision after ICL--astigmatism developed.

February 6, 2016
Asked By:gogo1212 in Danville, CA

I had ICL 1.5 weeks ago for significant vision: -8.5 and -8.75. I never had a history of astigmatism. I have not had clear vision since the procedure. I requested my vision be tested by the computer auto refractor, which shows I now have +.25 and -1.25 astigmatism in the right eye and +.25 and -.75 astigmatism in the left. The auto refractor says best unaided vision is both eyes is 20/40. My contacts gave me 20/15 vision. Will this stabilize? This can't be as good as it gets.
