my vision is not as sharp as I would like, and I find myself always wearing glasses now in order to not struggle to see sharply. What does the laser procedure consist of to correct astigmatism and remaining spherical error?
Thanks for your response Dr. Oyakawa. After reading so many problematic comments from folks that had the Crystalens IOL implanted, I opted for a monovision IOL, which was a Staar AQ2010V lens having a diopter of +8.0. I had surgery on 2/28/11, and at my 2 week follow up on 3/8/11 was informed that I have 20/30 vision in my corrected eye. The Dr. suggested more time for recovery, and that lasik would be a less desirable method of correction than glasses or contacts. I had originally asked about lasik for refractive error. I'm not unhappy with the results, as the cataract had gotten to be a real distraction. But I do like the crisp distance vision I've always gotten with gas permeable contacts. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
I would like more details on the type of IOL (you had asked about Crystalens before), how long ago was surgery, and what is your current refraction.
Is this a laser for PC haze or for a refractive error?
Dr. O.
