I wanted to share this story that I found when doing a search. Have you or do you know anyone that improved a line or two of BCVA after laser surgery? Im wondering how it's possible. I could understand vs. glasses because glasses minify/distort but better than contacts? For example, someone may see 20/25 with glasses, 20/20 with contacts and 20/15 after laser surgery. Could it be irregular astigmatism, which I have that can't be corrected to 20/20 with glasses nor soft contacts? Im afraid to try RGP because I have no tolerance for soft contacts and RGPs are very expensive with no refunds. Id rather spend it on intacs or PRK and I can accept no improvement in BCVA as long as my UCVA improves and my dependancy on glasses is reduced. An improvement in BCVA, say being able to correct to 20/20 with glasses after surgery would be a nice bonus.
