  Mel.....u may want to go to a dollar store or a drug store and just get a stronger magnification pair which is less money then a RX pair to help u thru until u r done healing and changing ....and like I said if u have pain or pressure or some extreme issues then go now or when that happens.

Of what i heared of my eye doctor is that the orientation of the nerves including optical nerves takes about 7-9months after head op.so i would wait a while unless u have problems.i am glad u r doing well.
