well i brought the surgery on myself. i am near legal blind without glasses,
so for years i have worn contacts. the problem with that is they don't tell you that over time the veins in your eye enlarge to compensate for the lack of oxygen to the cornea. as a result, they grow to supply blood to your eye, over time this can blind you. i went in for a simple prk to correct my vision and remove a scratch that has not healed (prk is when they use a laser to effectively scrap the surface of your eye ...like a sander to re shape it ) unfortunately the laser somehow pierced my eye and effectively burst it(picture a pin and a balloon) so to repair it they removed the lense from inside my eye, put in a replacement and stitched a plastic lense on top of it to support the eye. this of course blinds you. in my case they did the right eye first and the left eye second...that was the one with the problem. so i can hardly see. i can't go outside as the light hurts and the freaking. I am told by my dr that i will recover to better han 20/20, in time..... so before you start wearing contacts, or get surgery. think about my experience |

Well I had it done.....worn glasses since age 6. Contacts since 12, had the same vein creep and was starting to not tolerate contacts after 45 years of wearing them.
Surgery went well, then my old eyes decided to become far sighted.....couldn't read without reading glasses....age and this stoopid box prolly contributed...... Went in and had one adjusted for up close and the other left at 20/20 for distance. Threading a needle is a bitch but everything else is cool. Sorry to hear about yer screw upped surgery....my only post symptom is drier than before eyes that occasionally need drops. |
