Hi,
21 days ago (02/18;2011), I had a cataract from my RE removed and a SN60WF IOL implanted.
Surgery was perfect, until now my recovery seems to be pretty good.
My RE is now plano. My subjective perception is very good, contrast, colors e etc are great.
But, as my LE has -3.75 (myopia) and -2.0@83 (astigmatism), I can not use neither my reading, nor my far viewing glasses. Both glasses causes eye fatigue, double vision and headache. This problem is called aniseikonia,
I will try to use contact lens on my LE, it should solve this problem, but didn`t receive it yet.
For now, for distance viewing my RE is so good that it compensates my LE myopia/astigmatism until I get my contacts.
But for reading/work with monitors I had to use my reading glasses with one of the lens covered.
Of course, these situations is far from good, even now with my plano distance view RE, at the end of the day I feel tired and feel a mild pain around my RE.
Two days ago, my RE started to see glare and halos around very bright lights at night (car lights for example), most white light sources. I stiil can see pretty well, but this glares and halos are annoying.
Does anyone felt this before ? Could this eye fatigue cause these symptons ?
By the way, I also have glaucoma with IOP under control and now vision lost.
Regards.
Dr. O.
