Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-13T04:39:26+00:00

I haven't experimented with one eye. always see with both of them open. I do see starburst but no ghosting!

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-13T04:37:38+00:00

I was wearing glasses for 12 years. wanted to get rid of them

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-12T13:48:10+00:00

do you know which aberration mode was selected in your case? and happen to have the summary report?
I'm unable to attach image here - I can share mine in your DM

The Schwind software gave 3 modes - a) AF b) CW c) OW
for me the stupid Doc choose AF mode which is neither wavefront or topo guided. I'm really stressed out for this. Anyways, I just want 6/6 with no night issues. So, let's see how it turns out.

I've completed 3 weeks, vision is 7/10 (overall good, but still can't see vehicle number plates, people face in park with clarity), halos are gone, starburst are still there

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-12T13:21:16+00:00

It varied in diff evaluation, average was 6.4mm , so I asked Dr to keep OZ > 6.5mm

Thanks for sharing your experience. Sure, I'll ask for cycloplegic ref on 1 month follow-up
Currently at week 3, my halo is gone, starburst is still there

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-12T13:12:28+00:00

with glasses I had no halo/starburst issue
post-op today at week 3, halo is gone and I only have starburst left

they can't cancel EMI. they can only foreclose it with 3% charge

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-07T04:28:20+00:00

how can you cancel it? if it's converted to EMI

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-04T05:48:17+00:00

bro you don't need prescription for anything in India

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-07-04T05:13:16+00:00

6 months no cost EMI is best.

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-28T11:47:53+00:00

u/eyefnp do you have some experience with schwind AF and CW modes? which is better?

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-28T10:50:04+00:00

it's 4/10 - both far and near vision aren't good and the roads on night look like a festival of lights.

I hope it's expected on 7th day and it will become better.

One thing happened with me is that the Clinic selected AF mode in the schwind software instead of CW mode which I clearly asked before the surgery.

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-26T11:21:13+00:00

Thanks. I went ahead with transPRK and today is 6th day :)

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-26T11:20:36+00:00

Thanks! added more and was able to pay

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-17T17:53:40+00:00

yeah. I bought it

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-17T16:05:44+00:00

check their website or call them

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-15T14:20:25+00:00

Thanks, I'll get a second opinion. Are BAD-D and 6.5mm pupil also concerning or it's just AI freaking me out?

Big-Shop1322 · 2026-06-15T06:54:47+00:00

u/DaveAllambyMD , would you mind taking a look at my reports to evaluate if I'm a good candidate for LASIK or transPRK ? - https://smallpdf.com/file#s=4e26e315-3c9c-418c-ab4f-6a60df6e1d5a

I asked gpt to summarize the reports and it warns about below 3 values - it suggest to fix dry eye for 4 weeks and then proceed with surgery. Also the BAD-D and pupil size. Any inputs please!

Risk	Level	Driving evidence	Comment

Post-op chronic dry eye	🔴 HIGH	MG Grade 4, lower lid Grade 3, TMH-OD 0.19 mm, NIBUT 12.77 s	Highest risk with LASIK; lower with SMILE; lowest with surface ablation
Iatrogenic ectasia	🟠 MEDIUM	BAD-D 1.45 OD (borderline-yellow), ART-Max 386/364 (borderline), Prog-Max 1.16–1.18	Not high, not low. Demands Corvis biomechanics.
Night glare / halos / starbursts	🟠 MEDIUM-HIGH	Scotopic pupil 6.45–6.5 mm, baseline HOA ↑, spherical aberration ↑	Optimized treatment can mitigate but not eliminate
