I found this forum through a Google search and it seems to have many of the same questions I have. I hesitate to post---is there a reason no one is responding to the posts? I see there are MANY people reading them.
Having said that, I’m going to give it a try. I had Lasik surgery 10 years ago that corrected my vision to an awesome perfect vision.
I have now reached a point where I need corrective lenses again. Since my initial Lasik corrected from a -8.75, there is a bit of hesitancy by the doctors to correct any further since so much tissue had to be removed (so I am told).
I went in to be fitted with contacts and settled on the Pure Vision Multifocal since I am having difficulty at
three distances. I’m feeling a bit frustrated and wonder if this is a temporary issue.
Distance vision seems fine, though I’d like it to be a little sharper. My optometrist says if she increases the strength it will make the other two areas worse. Mid- range (computer) is a little blurry, but close (fine print) is not good at all. For both mid-range and close I have to blink several times and wait, even then I have to squint and strain to see.
I wore them for a week and things didn’t improve. I went back and tried regular contacts with reading glasses—a real pain and no mid-range. Then back and wore a regular lens in my right eye only (mono-vision?) That works OK, but vision is still not as clear as I would like, and adding reading glasses for close-up/mid-range was almost impossible and didn’t help.
So, now I’m back to the multi-focal. Seems like the best solution so far, but I still have the problems with blurriness (not clear) with mid-range and close-up is difficult.
Is this the best I am going to get, or will it improve with wear? I was told it takes the brain 2 weeks to adjust. Is there an alternative I can suggest to my optometrist? She seems open to suggestions.
Hope someone out there will take the time to answer some posts, this can be frustrating and I don’t personally know of anywhere else to find answers. Maybe someone can suggest another site if no one answers here?
Thanks for the help! If someone can give me some alternatives or support it will be very much appreciated. I feel like I am blind right now! Difficult to get any work done!
My last resort will be to go to glasses---YUK!
