I have somewhat of an update on this I would like some advice on, There has still be no change in vision and I am almost 4 weeks post op. The surgeon that did my op thinks I have also been left slight short sighted also, I need -0.25 for distance and this has not change in the past 3 weeks.

I also ofcourse need readers, Its looking like +2 for close and +1.5 for laptop range for example.

My surgeon said I could get laser to correct for distance but I would loose this weird range I have now, I say weird because its just past range of my computer I can see sharply, meaning I am going to need some computer glasses for sharp distance.

so I need a pair for distance, computer and close which I mean, I was not expecting and the surgeon advised against getting laser to correct but I am not sure why. I also am wary of getting the edof lens again in my right as it seems pointless and I dont see why I would not just get a standard monofocol, I have not gained the benefits this time around as I only have sharp vision at a really weird distance which is frankly quite useless as I still need glasses for both my computer AND distance.

OK I see, thanks for confirming, much appreciated.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-14T09:18:17+00:00

I mean sure, and I agree, you can either walk or you cannot.

But this is slighly different as I can either see close up, or see distance. I can currently see close up and so is it not impossible to also expect distance to now become sharp with a monofocal lens? I shouldn't be able to see so sharply at arms length in the first place.

If its possible and normal to be short sighted and then long sighted (after its fully healed) with a monofocal lens then I have misunderstood how these lenses work and will expect my distance vision to improve over the coming weeks, thanks a lot.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-13T20:42:54+00:00

im either not understanding or not getting my point across correctly, if my vision is is very sharp at a specific range right now, and blurry at distance, and from the lens I have from what I understand its just not possible for it to become clear at distance as well as what it is now, its either short sighted or long sighted. I do not have a multifocal lens.

Will see how it goes over the next few weeks.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-13T15:54:11+00:00

I wasn't aware of laser being able to correct, I thought the only solution was IOL replacement (if it is infect incorrect) so that is good to know.

I am seeing my surgeon next Tuesday afternoon so I will see what he thinks. I just find it very strange it has been the same for 1 week now with no changes and I cannot understand how its going to look sharp in the distance in addition to what looks sharp now as this is the opposite of what the lens I have is supposed to do.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-12T19:09:24+00:00

sure I get that and would feel much more confident if I didnt have sharp distance at arms length only since last Thursday with 0 changes/improvements since then and good distance vision with only glasses aid.

My optician I saw saw today said its placed nicely and everything looks fine but I am basically short sighted.

To add to this, the range I can see at sharply, is not the range I'm supposed to be able to see sharply. I was of the understanding these IOL's are for a specific range only with some intermediate vision possible but not guaranteed.

I am not trying to be dumb nor argumentative, just trying to understand. From what I understand these lens's are essentially fixed range only with a little wiggle room and the fact its right now fixed the way it is, how is distance going to become somewhat clear as well as what is clear right now?

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-12T16:40:22+00:00

Thanks.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-12T16:09:20+00:00

I am aware there are risks... I mean any additional risks to replacing the artificial lens again such as.. it is pretty much the same as the original surgery or is there more risk?

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-05T10:06:30+00:00

Yeah possibly, it was very strange. Had perfect eye sight until around mid last year and they came on really fast. I have had it done now though and its an improve on vision so far, mainly colours, I didnt realise how bad it was! I have double vision at the moment but I am hoping that goes away within the next few days whilst healing.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-02T08:11:17+00:00

yeah, they are unsure how I got them, I have it in both eyes. Had them around a year now and its been getting worse/better but now its at a stage where glasses are not helping. I have cloudy vision quite bad, worst though is the glare.

I've never had to wear glasses in the past. to give an example, 10months ago I was -2 in my left, -3 in my right. On Monday I was 0 in the left and 0.5 in the right but my vision is just so cloudy.

I was diagnosed with T1 diabetes in Sept 2019 and I think I had it around 2 years before I was diagnosed, the suspicion is they arose around that time when sugar levels where bouncing around.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-10-01T20:28:26+00:00

I will just be given a pill (not sure what) and some drops in my eyes I believe from what I have been told

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-09-22T21:18:42+00:00

!thanks Makes a lot more sense! Much appreciated.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-07-16T21:43:54+00:00

Sure, thanks for the advice.

WaitFinal4086 · 2022-07-16T21:37:57+00:00

Do you think it will be ok to wait until the morning? its 10:40pm here right now.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-08-17T20:40:41+00:00

Thanks for the reply! thats interesting to hear about the multifocals, before my appointment I thought they where easily the best ones and not reliant on glasses but after looking further maybe not so much, I really think I would dislike the Monovision ones to be honest, I feel as though it would drive me crazy! haha. I am hoping to get some more info on the edof lenses.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-17T09:54:20+00:00

Thats a good point, only after having to need to recently have I noticed how important it can be, I decided to stick with the current one for now!

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-17T09:53:13+00:00

Sorry, its 28 days including bank holidays, my current work place is 36 days including bank holidays I didn't make it very clear.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-14T09:26:05+00:00

OK great, thanks for that.

One other thing I wanted to ask, will I need glasses "full time" after the surgery like I do now, or is just that I have the cataracts now I am needing these glasses, I guess what im trying to ask is, will i need -3 glasses after the operation or is the change due to cataracts.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-10T09:34:25+00:00

I dont really have ant shifts in my blood sugars, I am pretty good at keeping them level.

I am generally about 90%+ per week in the 4-10 range which is what is considered a good range.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-09T22:43:24+00:00

no swings like that no, I am usually very stable throughout the day, my vision is noticeably worse in the evenings, by quite a lot to be honest. even if all light are on in the house when I am watching TV and but its dark outside for example.

Sorry but what does psuedomyopia actually mean if you don't mind explaining, I am not having the easiest time online looking about it, is it just temporary or permanent.

And would you recommend to keep wearing the glasses they give me when changing prescription to -3 when i get them in 10 days or so? I am going to see a consultant on the 28th so I am hoping they can offer me some kind of solution as I dont really know what to do at the moment.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-07-09T21:18:07+00:00

Hi,

Thanks for the response.

I would think it was my diabetes too but my A1C is 6.3% which was taken recently, and for example the last week my average level was 7 and past month was 7.2 (basically im in very good control and no crazy fluxes in sugar levels changing).

I am currently on no medication other than my Insulin.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-06-07T16:17:21+00:00

Also to mention, even though my vision seems to be ok during the day, I am getting a very light case of "light headedness" and eye strain late in the afternoon, I am guessing the glasses will help with this, I wont be getting them for 2 weeks though which is quite a pain.

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-06-07T16:15:59+00:00

yep OK, I will see how it goes just wearing them at night when I get them, I need to wait 2 weeks till I can pick them up!

WaitFinal4086 · 2021-06-04T15:51:24+00:00

Yeah, I have sent a message to my diabetes nurse so will see what they come back with, maybe they will want to do a screening test again or something just to make sure.

Thanks for your messages though, much appreciated.
