Before surgery, had glasses for both eyes. After left cataract surgery, righ eye used a temporary soft contact for 4 days before a measurement for right cataract surgery. This is when they could not get good meas.. So waiting 5 days for a new meas. seems like contact for 5 days should have no effect on measurement, could it ?
why does this happen where you can not get good measurements? What measurements are they not getting clear.
how long before they can get good measurements. Is this occurance common ?
Our offices have patients leave soft contact lens out for 2-3 days before making pre-operative measurements and gas permeable rigid contacts for 2 weeks and do two sets of measurements to be sure they agree. If they can't get good measurements best to postpone the surgery till readings are clear.
