I didnt realize plano lens would correct my peripheral vision. I thought plano was like plain clear glass with no correction and therefore it would give me the same vision in LE that i have now when i take my glasses off, which is very unfocussed myopic peripheral vision in LE, and that would be hard to adjust to after surgery. So ,as long as plano will preserve peripheral as it is now with my glasses on i will be very happy. Thank you.
Thank you for your response, Dr Hagen. I am not sure what the link you gave was to show. I read your article on options and the one on dysphotopsia that the link referred to ,if that was it. You replied that after surgery and when the right eye has adjusted to the new toric lens, i will have a plano lens in glasses for LE and the RE corrected with progressive lens. The problem i see has to do with vision that will be unbalanced. My LE has no central vision, but the peripheral vision with glasses (-8.75) is very good and i rely a lot on it to get around as some peripheral vision in my right eye is lost. So i feel that a LE plano lens in glasses will leave me with "cockeyed" vision. Is this something people get used to? Or do i keep the thick lens in LE and progressive lens in RE and if so will my eyes appear different sizes to others?

Yes you will need to remove the thick myopia RX from the unoperated eye without central vision LE. If you set your RE to have intermediate vision without glasses you will need glasses to read and for distance. you will wear progressive no line glasses with the LE being plano (0.00) Also with your history of uveitis you may need to start steroids much sooner than normal eyes. You should ask your retina surgeon about your plans and also when to start steroids and how to taper them. This is not normal surgery and your eye is not normal.
