I had RK in 1992 when myopia was -8 and -9. Bcos my sight were so bad my skilled surgeon Dr Manger in CA did 3 surgeries in each eye so he wouldn't have to cut so deep all in one go. Other than the halos that I could see at night due to the long cuts it was great and definitely better than being legally blind! However in a couple of yrs my eyesight started worsening again so in 1995 Dr Manger did Lasik and I had almost perfect eyesight for decades except that in the night I continued to "see" the cuts from my RK when my pupils dialated. Finally in 2020 I had catract surgery with Johnson & Johnson PCB00 lenses. I had perfect vision for 3 months but then my vision got cloudy. Went back to my surgeon and he said that the scars from my RK grew over my lenses. However he did perform a corrective PTK surgery on my left eye in 2022 as it was particulary foggy. Once again great vision for 3 months and then the scars grew back. My surgeon advised me not to do any more corrections and a 2nd opinion said the same. Since then I live with somewhat foggy distance vision and do not drive or travel alone anymore. I do not wear reading glasses since the cataract surgeries either. There are no prescription glasses that I can see better with. My surgeon said I could try scleral lenses but I can't be bothered to go through such a laborious process. For someone who has had bad eyes my whole life and a total of 11 surgeries in both eyes I figure this vision is better than what I had as a child and I can live with this!
