I went along to my optometrist today wondering if I was wasting bother out time but my vision was bad and seemed to have perhaps got a little worse plus and it was giving me mild headaches so I wanted to see if anything could be done.
He confirmed that the prescription for my eye had changed - the amount of correction needed had almost halved! I was quiet surprised to know it ha changed this much, but it can only be good.
The bad news is that even with this change I still could not see very clearly at all. It seems that even with the cornea in the right shape the internal optics of the cornea can disuse the light so that vision still sucks - which is why I had only just noticed a fairly big change in lens prescription. As far as I can work out that's what is happening to me. I've no idea if this can be expected to slightly improve over time or if it means that no matter what the surface of the cornea does I will not get good vision. It would be nice to know.
My optometrist volunteered to ring my surgeon which I am grateful for. I didn't tell my optometrist this but I had tried to ring him a few times myself but he hadn't returned my calls. Maybe an optometrist will have better luck getting his attention....
