I had CK on my left eye 2 months ago, and it has created havoc in my life. Everything is blurry now, all the time. I wish I had tried a contact in my left eye for a month, but monovision has worked so well for friends of mine that I jumped into it. I was also treated for dry eyes at the same time. The dr tried temp plugs, they worked fine, but the permanent ones hurt so bad they had to be removed within 24 hours. I was told to use drops frequently, but I seem to be allergic to every drop ever conceived, including OasisTears which is pure glycerine. The dr zapped my tear ducts to close them, but I still suffer constantly from dry, itchy eyes. He told me to use whatever means were necessary to see while at my computer, or reading, or driving at night. So now I need 3 pairs of glasses, instead of just 1.
The dr has released me, sending me back to my PCP saying I must have "something else going on" and told me to get tested for stress. I wasn't having any problems at all before I went to him, and I would give anything to turn back the hands of time and not let him touch me. Since I didn't find that much on the con side of CK when I did my research on the internet, perhaps this post will serve as a warning to others.
I am using ordinary reading glasses for my computer with the left eye knocked out, +1.25. (still blurry, but I'm trying not to adjust the left eye at all. I get a tight feeling around my eyes after working all day at the computer and I just want to shut my eyes and put cold compresses on them)
For reading, I am using the same, with the left eye knocked out, +2.0 (but I get no enjoyment out of reading any more, and had to drop out of school until I get this problem figured out)
Can't drive at night, but he did give me a prescription to have filled for that, said I might have to use them for a year or so.
I guess my question is, will my eyes ever adjust? And how soon before I should get fitted for trifocles?
