Contoura LASIK Eye Surgery

I had the correction for mono vision and my distance is still not clear. When I watch tv I can’t the faces of people are not clear. A year after my first surgery to correct distance I still have many days where I can’t read street signs. I have to wear a contact for my reading eye because everything is still blurry when working on a computer or anything 3 feet from me. They say I have 20/20 vision in my distance eye but, I’m going to get a second opinion at this point. Do not have this done! Dry eyes, vision not corrected properly and night driving is worse now than before the surgery! I still see halos and floaters a year later.

I wasn’t happy with my original results as I had to wear glasses for everything! I decided for reading that I wanted monovision done and they corrected it for free since I bought the 1 year warranty. It was slightly odd at first and over a month later, I notice the sight difference between the my eyes while watching tv. The great thing is that I don’t need glasses except for computer work right now. My vision is getting better and the doctor believes I’ll be able to read anything from 3-4 feet from me in a few months! Then I’ll never need to wear glasses. Thinking back now, I would have saved my money and just continued with contacts and glasses for my distance, but I would recommend going monovision if you’ll need to see up close and far away. It’s not as weird as it sounds and try using contacts for a month to see if you’re a good candidate that can adjust to it.

I’m pretty sure I’m going to need an enhancement. They don’t tell you that they correct your vision a little higher than your prescription to reduce the need for the enhancement. I have to wear reading glasses almost all day still and at my last follow up appointment 2 days ago, the doctor suggested I get +1 reading glasses for distance. My tv is usually still a little blurry and not as sharp as before my Lasik. I can’t see people’s faces as good as before my Lasik. I’m going to ask for monovision when I’m 99% positive they’re going to have to do an enhancement and get contacts to try it out so I know what to expect. Trust me, if you’re 40+ years old, try contacts for monovision before you have Lasik for just distance. This is not what I expected and now am regretting my decision.
