Hi Dr. McGarity,
Thanks for your response. If 16.0D power is correct for my blurry left eye, how come I cannot read any letters even the big E in the eye chart in my doctor’s office? Will an IOL power of 18.0D or higher solve my current problem? During my 3rd follow up visit, my Dr. told me that the incision has healed nicely. My left eye is normal, no complications, no macular degeneration, no retina edema and the optic nerve is fine. The posterior capsule is clear. When I covered my right eye, my left eye can see TV clearly at 6 ft. Beyond that everything is blurry. My left eye sees color lighter than normal. My dr. was much puzzled why my distant vision is so poor. That is why he referred me to his colleague for consultation.
Before surgery, my old Rx was: OS: -2.50 -2.50x85 OD: -4.00-2.75x95, ADD + 2.5
After surgery, the new Rx is: OS: -0.25-1.50x90 ADD +2.5. OD: -3.50-3.25 x95 ADD +2.5.
I will see the other ophthalmologist next Friday. Will keep you inform.
If I do surgery on my right eye, should I have the same power or higher to match my left eye?
