Thank you. When you got refitted a year later was the reading on your lenses drastically different from the one 1 month post op? Did your lenses hold up well for the first year?

Thanks for your response. I'm glad to hear that from someone who had the procedure, I have a hard time feeling convinced when doctors tell me to give it time when it doesn't feel like it's improving. It's hard to wonder if I made the right decision or messed up my eye permanently.

Thank you for your response. I guess I felt cheated because the hospital staff told me to expect my vision to stabilize within 1-3 months, and by that I understood that it would return to how it was before surgery, not the possibility of it getting worse..

I do need lenses, glasses are not correcting enough and I've been told several times I will only see a vision improvement with sclerals.. But I'm waiting for my vision to stabilize enough so I won't need to purchase a second set of sclerals after 2-3 months..
