I had LASIK in April 2023, my prescription before having surgery was -3.75 in both eyes. I have requested my medical records and I can see that at my one month post-op appointment in May 2023 my prescription was +0.75 in my right eye and +0.25 in my left eye. I had an eye test last month (Feb 2024) and my prescription is now 0.00 in my right eye and -0.5 in my left eye. I am feeling quite upset that there has been such a big change in my eyesight in less than a year. Is this normal?
I have strabismus in my left eye. I had eye surgery when I was 16 to align my eye. However that lasted only 5 years and my eye moved back. I don't have prisms in my glasses. My prescription is what aligns my eye. I'm quite far-sighted in both eyes. My doctor has mentioned getting Lasik because I fall within range. I'm concerned how that will affect my strabismus. Will that help align my eye? My visual acuity is OD 20/20 OS 20/20 OU 20/20 -1. Not sure if that helps.
My night vision is horrible.The light beams off cars and street lights extend from the object itself into eternity and bounce off my eyeball causing a glare. I can't read well on bright phone screens or subtitles on TV. My day vision in natural light is perfect though. Before lasik,I was nearsighted with astigmatism. I had starbursts when I would wear glasses but contacts corrected it. Doctor said my eyes are healthy and rejected an enhancement. Used eye drops and contacts-did not do anything.
Hello, I had Lasik 6 years ago; it went perfectly. I had 20/20 vision with the only problem of double vision when driving at night. Since the last 7 months, I have been needing glasses again for distance, with a measurement of -1 in both eyes. I've had myopia since I was 8 years old. When I had the surgery, I had -6.5 in my right eye and -5.5 in my left, and a little astigmatism. I am only 36, so I'm afraid of losing more of my vision. Could I get LASIK twice, and when should I do it?
I'm interested in doing iLasik, so I went to an eye specialist where I was told that my eye power was -5.00 and -4.75 with my left eye as my dominant one. I'm a contact lens wearer, and the last eye check I had, my power was -3.75 and -4.00. I went to get a second opinion about my entire candidacy, not specifically for my eye power only and they said my power was -3.75 w/ my right eye as the dominant. What should I do? Frankly I trust the first centre more as the tests were machine-based
1)Is the proposed laser the best/most expensive on the market? I've seen 1050hz laser exist. 2)Does latest research really show wavefront technology is not better for high hyperopia? 3)Why would he perform a Lasik surgery wih hyperopia higher than +5D. Often +3D/+4D seems to be the upper limit. Residual defects can be corrected also with accommodation but I'm sure this would cause headaches. What's the real chance of not having regression? Thank you very very very much in advance
