I first looked in cataract surgery with y'all in the thread of
09/30/2005 - Some cataract questions.
Followed this (post surgery) in the thread starting 12/24/05
NEW Case - Should I accept this vision.
In the latter I reported how the LRI preformed incident to cataract
surgery of the right eye produced: "LRI induced astigmatism incident
to cataract surgery".
The scripts are currently:
OD Before: 1-27-05 Sphere/Cyl/Axis
+4.00/-1.25/090
OD After 1-25-06 +0.50/-2.75/105
OS Before: +3.75/-1.50/094
OS After: +0.50/-0.75/065
There were two Adds
Before, both were +2.50
After, both are now different (I think this is another screw up)
OD +2.50
OS +2.25
Anyhow, had my first 2nd opinion Friday. (The second 2nd opinion
willl be later in March with a corneal specialist)
2nd eyedoc says (as was speculated to me privately by a member of this
group) Surgical Error - He made the LRI incision ("I can see it") 90
degrees from where it should have been: "Tell him to fix it---FREE"
Now, the question as to what to do, arises again. This eyedoc says NO
to any thought of a second LRI - by anyone. He says some form of
lazer surgery, in all of it's various names, may work. Because I
asked, he is going to have a complete workup done tomorrow morning as
to what lazer surgery might be best. Then I am to go in early Friday,
before they open and he will sit down with me "for an hour or so" and
explore all the options.
(I'm sure he is looking for a little business. I certainly am a
little gun shy when it comes to returning to the original guy - free
or not. W'll see [Maybe Medicare will fund it as an eye injury
repair])
How do I see. Crisply, clearly - really well at night. HOWEVER
COMMA, my (I don't know what to call it) depth of field, 3-d vision is
lousy. And, occasionally, the effect that everything in the vision
field is tilted down and to the left (about 315R) still comes up every
now and then - and I have no idea why - though it could be the brain
still adjusting to this. Dry eyes got worse (but this could also be
the new heat pump which works wonderfully).
So, this is where I am. I may choose to continue to attempt to
refract the condition away
Any and all comments/suggestions are welcome, as they will all help me
to reach my decision. (When I get next Friday's recommedations from
2nd opinion doc, I'll let you know.)
TIA
