Hi there, THANKS for help with 2 issues:
I am 48 y/o female, otherwise in exc health. I had -19.5, -22.5 and d/t microvascularization and very dry eyes couldn't wear soft lenses any longer...and got lens implants that were -16, and now my vision is -2, -2.5.
I used to have monovision, & would double only when tired. Since implants, I am doubled from early AM. The surgeon commented that the vision was improved so much, my brain couldn’t turn off the inferior image.
1) I got prisms (the MD wanted prism of 15, could only take 6, split up between two eyes) and they hold vision single for about 30 min. I’ve been r/o for surgery—won’t help this type. I went to an eye exercise optometrist, he seemed nutty and said: this may not help, you can try it for a lot of $$, not covered by insurance.
Can I do anything about the doubling?
2) What should I do about the blurred vision? Can I get Lasix? My ophthalmologist says it might increase dry eye, but can be done. Since the procedure, I don't need lacrimal plugs and use drops less often. Should I get glasses that have the myopia correction, and use the prisms just when I need to be single? Or, should I stay blurry and use the prism glasses that I have now (they have the correction) when I need them?? Any other option? What about contact lenses that hold fluid?
I’m mostly concerned about what’s healthiest, but the QOL is important…if it doesn’t increase risk.
