Medical Forum / General / Vision / July 2006Latest after cataract surgery problem
Many of you are familiar with the problems I had when an erroneously placed LRI done to my OD incident to cataract surgery 12/12/05 produced the following kind of Rx history: OD Before: 1-27-05 +4.00/-1.25/090 Add +2.50 OD After 1-05-06 +0.50/-3.00/100 Add +2.25 Last revision: OD Chg. 4-25-06 +0.75/-3.00/099 Add +2.25 As previously discussed, I had Supralase 06/16/06 to correct (only) that astigmatism. This is the first refraction since then OD NOW 7-11-06 +0.50/SPH Add +2.25 A lens is now being made. I fully expect there will be more changes, but am certainly happy thus far. I see this team again in September for any revisions, but then will immediately be seen by an independent OD for his Rx and will be fit and followed by him after that. I would expect things to be stable by Christmas. Does that seem reasonable to you???

All your cylindar is gone! You are still very slightly farsighted so your distance vision wont be quite perfect and you wont see a thing from up close. Only 2.25 add? This would be good for seeing at intermediate of 2 to 2.5 feet. You may need trifocals or progressives with a 3.5 add for reading. > see a thing from up close. Only 2.25 add?

"Congras", the retard is also a cataract expert. >> This is the first refraction since then >> OD NOW 7-11-06 +0.50/SPH Add +2.25 >Congrats! All your cylindar is gone!

You may need trifocals or >progressives with a 3.5 add for reading. My error for not making it clearer. These will be trifocals His original script for OD was for a trifocal with a 2.75 add. I asked him to change this as OS is a 2.25 add trifocal. We will sort all this out as we go, and when both are reasonably well stabilized, will adjust the ADDS as necessary. I will say however, that (and physics of optics is not my bag) to me, as the ADD strength increases, the depth of the "good vision zone" seems to decrease, requiring I be very exact where I place my eyes in relation to what I am trying to see. I spend many hours at the PC, frequently kicked back in my office chair with about 45" eye-to-screen distance and my keyboard/mouse in my lap. Right now I am using a pair of old executive bifocals from my Navy days which seem to enable me to do that. I am a bit afraid of progressives, believing the "good vision zone" is too narrow. It has been suggested to me that something similar to the Sola Access lens could widen this zone and provide me good computer vision. Otherwise, I may simply have a pair of executive (full width) computer bifocals made. But first, gotta get the eyes stable for the primary glasses so that I can add self-darkening, etc. The rest---maybe next year Thanks again to all, for all your help/advice during this ordeal Roy Sounds good, but what are the acuities in that eye now? (aided and unaided)? w.stacy, o.d. > Many of you are familiar with the problems I had when an erroneously > placed LRI done to my OD incident to cataract surgery 12/12/05 [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > reasonable to you??? > Roy >Sounds good, but what are the acuities in that eye now? (aided and unaided)? Define please "acuities" I see about 20/30 in that eye now unaided; a little better than 20/20 aided (as seen through that crazy machine y'all use with all the dials on it) - If that is what you mean. Without the new lens it is hard to tell. My perception is that SPH did not change with the surgery which was designed only to correct CYL. I have been without a lens in my glasses for OD since the surgery. Am doing well. Will often watch the TV w/o glasses. And, best of all, the earth is flat again, and I seem to have normal depth of field. And special thanks to you who gave me the best advice of all - get an independent OD you have confidence in to go over your eyes - and follow his advice. I did; it worked. He sent me to the most recent surgeon who used his method to correct the mess made by his predecessor. As soon as the current "team" sees me again in mid-SEPT I will take that refraction to that optometrist for his information, but let him really do a refraction. Then he will continue to follow and prescribe for my new eyes. |
