Dr Oyakawa,
Just want to follow up a question answered by you 2 days ago.
The cataract surgeon I met last week told me to test with the contact lens first before making the decision of the cataract surgery. He just mention there can be many other causes of headache like ocular migraine.
I am using a -3.25 glasses for my left eye which I can see 20/60. I was examined by a few optometrist, eye doctors in HK. The best I can see (almost guess) is 20/50 with -4.75. I tried to add a contact lens with -1.5 for 1/2 day but didn't help much to my eye strain and headache. I guess the major reason is with the cataract, my distant vision is blur with or without the contact lens.
Now, I am not sure with this test result, if there is any indication that the cataract surgery won't help.
Dr Oyakawa : You didn't mentioned 'Many patients' in a previous posting. Do you mean many patients like me have eye pain or asthenopia go for a cataract surgery and have improvement. Finally, anyway to test do I have Ocular migraine. My family doctor prescribed me a few Zomig and didn't work out.
Thanks a lot
Dr. O.
