jrtomMy four-week appointment was yesterday. A brief summary:
I do notice the left-eye astigmatism, basically as a general feeling that everything is just barely not quite in focus. But from a functional standpoint, it's negligible, and from a psychological standpoint, it's not a big deal.
- The health of my eyes is just fine; the surgical scars are still visible (to the optometrist with instruments--I've never been able to see them), but are not causing any distortion.
- I can see 20/20 in my right eye, and similarly in my left "with difficulty". More quantitatively: I am about +.25/-.25 (hyperopic/astigmatic) in my right eye, and +.25/-.5 (hyperopic/astigmatic) in my left eye.
- I still see halos. This seems not to have changed much, although it's hard to be sure (or to be quantitative about it, if I did think it had changed).
