I appreciate your warm comments and well wishes for May 20 and June 3
I am having toric lens implants in each eye after he removes the cataracts.
The reason I can not do any work or gardening or camera use or mild exercise
is that these particular lens have to be placed precisely on the cornea
and they can shift...from movement or placed wrong by the surgeon..
This is suppose to correct my astigmatism in both eyes..
I have fairly good vision but the astigmatism makes everything
no real detailed.. far off ...
The close up vision I did not want corrected because they have not perfected
those multifocal lens implants in my opinion yet..and many others that have gotten them
on line or I know in person..they adjusted because they had to ..to the lens.
I went to the optometrist last week to try for the first time one contact for closeup and one for distance to see if my brain would adapt to that...in case I wanted to have lens implants to do the same..my surgeon asked me to do that ahead of time.
Well I went positive I could wear them and do the monofocal lens
and after 7 hours I could not..it was like a slight blur when I tried to look across
the store, parking lot, clothes tickets and road signs..
That was what I would have preferred because my close up vision is really
not good ...and that is due to age...it was perfect for years distance and close up
enough to not wear glasses...
So you got a lesson when you asked me...LOL
in lens implants..
That is why I am going to be careful as I have to pay myself for these lens full price
and not covered by any insurance..nor are the drops I have to use after each surgery
and those are VERY expensive each time..even the generic ones..
I will be on line till May 16 so write me if you need to..a tree mail...
any questions or comments..or on here..
Thanks
Sheri
