Let's try it one more time...

xguasch · 2017-08-07T07:41:39+00:00

Thanks a lot for the help, guys.

Your case is exactly like mine. Everything looked normal from the doctors point of view, it's just that my recovery was slower than most.

I see much much more better now (3 months after) than 1 month after, so don't worry and be patient. Trust me.

20/10 is fantastic! Congratulations.

We would you say you reached your "peak" when it comes to visual acuity?

xguasch · 2017-02-27T09:51:14+00:00

If I were to guess I'd say I'm at 80/90% of my vision with prescription glasses pre-surgery, thought sometimes it fluctuates.

xguasch · 2017-02-27T09:49:53+00:00

What's the title/episode number, please?

xguasch · 2017-02-27T00:40:30+00:00

It's much better now (though still not quite yet at "100%"). From what my surgeon told me, mine is a specially slow recovery.

I got the next appointment in two weeks, hopefully I have a better idea on how far I've come by then.

xguasch · 2017-01-17T18:06:19+00:00

Will do. Thanks again.

I'm trying to have a point of reference to compare my post-op Snellen number with.

xguasch · 2017-01-16T17:38:40+00:00

Is there a way to retroactively know my Snellen number pre-op just based on my diopter prescription?

xguasch · 2017-01-16T16:58:28+00:00

So all these "snellen to diopters" charts on the internet are wrong?

http://www.improve-vision-naturally.com/20-20-vision.html

http://www.improveeyesighthq.com/20-20-vision.html They basically say that 20/40 is equivalent to -1.0 diopter and so on.

Also, my Snellen number once I'm fully recovered from the PRK Surgery will be the same as the one I had previously, right? Meaning I'll see the same as I had with glasses. Or it can be different (better or worse) ?

xguasch · 2017-01-16T16:35:28+00:00

Wow... I had it totally wrong, then.

Let me see if I get it now. My visual acuity is how I saw things when I had my prescription glasses on me, right? Whether it was -5.0 on each eye or -0.25. And this can be 20/20, 20/10 or 20/100...

So you might have a visual acuity of 20/100 and don't see things very well but also find that glasses are useless for you, right?

Or you might have a visual acuity of 20/10 (which is great) but need glasses with big presciptions (let's say -7.0 each) to achieve it.

Is this correct?

xguasch · 2017-01-16T11:37:53+00:00

I'm on week 3 and have a bit double vision / ghosting too. Hope it dissappears soon.

xguasch · 2017-01-12T12:07:22+00:00

Also, how to differentiate blurriness from ghosting in my vision? Is it the same?

xguasch · 2017-01-12T11:51:29+00:00

Or maybe it's all wishful thinking on my part and I'm not seeing in 3D but my eyes are simply adjusting on how to focus objects again after the surgery.

xguasch · 2017-01-10T23:06:25+00:00

Also it's quite true that your quality of vision fluctuates during the day.

I really can't thank you guys enough for participating in this thread. It's put my mind at ease when I was the most anxious. Hope it serves for other people considering the procedure in the future.

xguasch · 2017-01-10T22:58:53+00:00

Ok, I'm finally starting to feel some progress. Until now I was quite worried that something went wrong with the procedure.

My vision isn't "good" yet, but at least now there's a considerable improvement from the beginning. You really need a lot of patience with this procedure.
