In March, 2005, I had PRK surgery on my eyes.\u00a0 One year after the procedure, my vision had attained my pre-surgical best-correctable state:\u00a0 20\/15.\u00a0 Three years later, it’s slipped.\u00a0 The doc didn’t seem too concerned about it, but I am, getting a new prescription.\u00a0 Just slightly stronger, and it looks like these will be trifocals — the regular vision part will only be -.50, the computer part will be +1.00, and the reading part will be +2.00.\u00a0 My left eye appears to be getting some astigmatism.\u00a0 That has everything to do with me being two years older than last time and little or nothing to do with the PRK.<\/p>\n
While I’m mildly disappointed that the vision isn’t as sharp as it was two years ago, I can’t say I’m disappointed with the PRK results.\u00a0 I would be disappointed if I had to begin wearing glasses full-time again, but even that wouldn’t be as bad as my original uncorrected legally blind vision (thankfully, it was correctable even before the surgery to 20\/20 or better).<\/p>\n
My eyes are very healthy.\u00a0 By all accounts, the PRK was a total success.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
