Lasik in 2005 - no corrective lenses near 20/20.
Near sight brought need for OTC readers, eventually Rx readers.
Next single vision for far sight for driving only, specifically at night.
It was a challenge to see.
Enter COVID-LC: Total change in vision - new Rx readers worn all day; far sight became horrible at every distance. Got double vision (for far sight with bifocals, mainly for driving so I can see the road and the dash. Need a new pair to wear for inside distance and bifocals. I have 3 pairs of glasses on my person at all times. When I awake during the night I cannot read the fairly large digital number time on my watch even when “nose to nose”. At times I feel like my eyes are working independently of each other and it takes several blinks and looking from side to side a couple times before they focus. Like everything else, when tested in that moment, my prescription remains basically the same. It is a continuous struggled to see… If it’s been said before, it’s been said over and over here - I believe you. You are not alone.
I know what you mean. My eyes cannot re-focus. If I have been trying to read (very difficult) then switch to watching TV, it will take 15-20 minutes for the blurry, double vision to clear a bit.
I do pretty well with contact lenses, but my eyes have gotten so dry that I can only wear them for short periods of time.
My optometrist has me on steroid drops now, and the pain is better. Vision is still pretty bad.
I am still firmly in the grip of LC (three years). I wonder if I will ever recover, or even improve?!
