So, I have my new contacts today.
It's my worst prescription in years and years.
The Dr. says I'm sorry this is the best we can do.
(This has happened before in the past, but then
there will be a little advance in contacts that
catches up and I'm OK for a while)
I have my doubts the contact people will catch up well this time.
My vision is about 20/600+ with astigmatism in both eyes
(new for this year in the right eye)
It's hard to explain - I can drive and see the TV, but nothing is sharp.
I've been fortunate enough to have my vision corrected most years
to sharp. I use my eyes a lot for my job (reading/computer), and
I read at home too. So it's important to me.
Has anybody had their eyes fixed, and by what method?
My fear is I get them fixed, then need correction. I know RK, you can
never wear contacts again. I'm not sure about lasik. Or any new developments.
I've not talked to a dr. because they make money selling a product,
not scaring me away from their product.
I only know one person that has had her eyes fixed (not sure what method,
about 6 years ago) and she lost her night vision. I have the night vision
of a cat, I don't want to lose that.
Any insights?
