Hi all, I went in to see my Doc, my visit seemed strained. I was asking her questions about plano, hyperopia etc and she seemed put off. I think she might be worried I was planning on a lawsuit or something. I truly am not, just wanted information to help me understand where I am and how far I am from where I should be.
When I asked for my numbers she rattled them off fast. Sorta annoyed. Anyway My overall vision has not improved much.......still 20/30.....but she says I am improved since last visit. Dryness is better. Lets face it, if I improve slightly at each visit till 6 months I should be doing pretty good.
my hyperopia number is +.50 and my astigmatism number i either -.1 or -.100 as she rattled it so fast I did not write it down well. Glen, I hope you can understand and make sense out of it.
I asked her about enhancement and she says she can give me a chance to see how it would be to enhance to 20/20 both eyes, or to do one eye...... I do not know if Glen thinks getting only one eye done is best but would be curious to know.
I also explained to her I am not wild to do any enhancement if we can get a little better.....she agreed. Maybe get to 20/25 if things can keep improving which she and I both hope will happen.
I am noticing my far vision is decent but frankly losing my near vision is not worth having only fair far vision. While driving, signs are not clear until I get close up. Also I feel my eyes straining to see.
I wish the docs were not so afraid to talk to us. I guess they have forgotten how frightening it is to have your vision change so radically. I know my doc seems like a very nice woman, I know she is doing the best she can. I just wish she didn't seem so annoyed at my questions and my concerns and my worries. This has been very scary at times and I question my sanity daily about ever doing it in the first place.
I realized with glasses I can probably do okay....but hey.....I just spent a horse load of money to shed my glasses.......Now I need several pairs of glasses. My old near-sighted glasses worked just fine plus I could read up close without them and not feel like Mrs. Magoo when shopping or trying to read a menu.....
I know I got a few months of healing left, and I am hoping against hope as the dryness subsides a bit more that my vision will settle further and I will get close to that 20/25 that will be good enough!
