I just got a new pair of perscription sunglasses. I purchased the Ray Ban Wayfarers, which are a quite large plastic frame. I noticed when I put them on that everything was a little distorted, especially on the sides. I felt taller and had weird depth perception, almost a

Typically how long does corneal swelling last after astigmatic keratotomy? When can one expect it not to affect visual acuity? Ten days after a.k. plus cataract repair, my uncorrected visual acuity is still only 20/100.
