Subject: Intralase Lasik - 6 days ago - right eye BLURRY
Posted: 12 May 2012 at 3:56pm

8 day checkup yesterday - left eye's testing 20/20 and feels fine, right eye is apparently still -0.5D with 1.0D astigmatism, which explains why it's not focussing on anything beyond a few feet properly.

I'm thinking being stuck with that shouldn't be too bad; easy/cheap to correct with glasses, or maybe disposable contact lenses. I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm guessing that after 8 days the 1D astigmatism will more or less be here to stay.

Now, as long as those reading glasses show up this afternoon as promised ... (Couldn't find any I liked locally, so I bought a pair on Amazon for £4 - courier delivery today, they promise me.) My left eye can't quite cope with the computer screen now.]]> Sat, 12 May 2012 15:56:46 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=3759&PID=11515#11515 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11502#11502 Author: Guests

Ouch - that is scary. My LASIK was OE; the consultation was in a different city to the operation, by someone else, and to be honest I would say the average piece of supermarket merchandise gets more individual attention. The consultation guy (who also did my 1 day followup) was very nice, at least.

I've just finished the 7 day prophylactic topical antibiotics and steroid drops today, back for the one-week check in the morning. I've been pretty paranoid about the flap; my suspicion/hope is I haven't got anything to worry about besides a bit of undercorrection and perhaps needing reading glasses for closeup work - as long as they haven't missed anything and nothing goes wrong in future.

At this point, my feeling is; I screwed up by having the procedure; I just hope the £2300 and some more discomfort is all it costs me.]]> Thu, 10 May 2012 18:06:23 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11502#11502 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11493#11493 Author: Guests

Hi
Had refractive lenses surgery at optical express, which I paid £5,000Had all scans and they still didn't detect my eyes were not suitable,
And the reason why the surgeon looked in my both eyes for a few Seconds, he didn't take time with me I also signed the consent form before I went in to see the surgeon and before he had even looked in my eyes so through it all my close are distant vision is poor, I have grey affect, hoa, retina wrinkle vitrious trouble which I have to live the rest of my life with now, total nightmare that I have been left with physically and mentally. ]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 22:30:26 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11493#11493 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11492#11492 Author: Guests

It seems there are several different ways for the surgeon to get the "right" lens for cataract surgery (RLE); using the readings the laser surgeon should have taken beforehand is presumably the easiest for them, but they should also be able to get the information with something like a Wavefront scan if needed.

Oddly, my mother had RLE a few years ago (on the NHS, for cataracts; the vision correction was a welcome side-effect) and was then told subsequent refractive surgery (to fine-tune the last bit) wouldn't be an option!

David, when you say "I also had rle which I would never recommend to any one", do you mean you had the RLE in an attempt to improve the results of some other procedure, or they did RLE for you and it went horribly wrong?]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 20:54:07 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=4161&PID=11492#11492 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=3759&PID=11491#11491 Author: Guests

I'm six days post LASIK (Intralase Wavefront, -9.75) now; closeup is still a bit of a pain (optician suggested on the 1 day followup that a cheap pair of +1 reading specs might help; haven't tried that yet, not been in a shop that sells them) but bearable.

Left eye is fine for vision and comfort except very close up; right eye's a bit uncomfortable and blurred for everything except close up. No mention of monovision on the consent form, but if it's a slight accidental undercorrection I suppose that should be OK - as long as the comfort improves.

3 doses of eyedrops to go (finish tomorrow midday), one-week followup the next morning.]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 19:24:28 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=3759&PID=11491#11491 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=1039&PID=11489#11489 Author: Guests

Originally posted by Delyth Beaumont Hi Caius, I had Lasek Wavefront 6 months ago and my close up vision is still not as good as it was before surgery.

Thanks for sharing your experience Delyth, I've decided not to let it get me down as I made the decision to get it done so i need to live with it! and its early days.

Day by day i can see a slight improvement, that may just be me getting used to this new vision. I may also invest in some reading glasses for work, im only 22 too so maybe its an advantage being young lots time to improve!

I had Wavefront Lasek done 8 days ago, my long vision is almost perfect but my near vision is not great now.

I'm struggle to look my computer screen because it seems to double vision on things like text, I'm going to wait and see what happens because I know my eyes haven't fully healed.

I'm a little worried about my near vision when using a computer not healing fully being a game developer its vital to my career. Can anyone share there experience with there near vision returning to normal?]]> Tue, 08 May 2012 12:58:14 +0000 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=1039&PID=11483#11483 http://forums.lasik-eyes.co.uk//forum_posts.asp?TID=2290&PID=11474#11474 Author: Guests
