Guest guest Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Lou I've had opthalmologists who tried and tried and everything they did made me see worse even though they were top grade medically. Ultimately then I went to another one and he prescribed lenses and much better. So, they honestly hit a block, sort of like writer's block or something, and can't get it. Glad you found a solution and my guess is that a slight adjustment from old lens would be better. I remember one time mine had too much correction for the nearsightedness as apparently he kept adding more and not nearly enough for the astigmatism So, talk to the surgeon and then if you need to see someone else don't hesitate. > > Lou here reporting from " DUMPSTER LAND " .
