Question:
Do you know about American Best Contact Eye Glasses?
Answer:
The surgeon certainly didn't make much effort to sway me one way or
the other. Another surgeon, in a different city before I moved, had
done some contact lens trials with me and it seemed to me like I was a
little more comfortable with correct distance than correct near, but
this is only a couple minutes in a doctor's office, and I wasn't made
aware of the post-op difficulties in fitting me with new glasses. All
the surgeons I talked to seemed to think that if my eyes were within
about 3 diopters of each other at most, I'd be ok, that 3 diopters is
some kind of general limit that the brain can handle and anything
under that is ok. No one ever told me that 1 or 1.5 is a lot better
(and I remember asking if being much less is significant).
But despite that this maybe wasn't the best decision, I have to live
with it somehow, as you say. I've only worn contact lenses for those
few minutes in the office, so unknown if I can tolerate them well. If
I can, which eye/direction should do the "absorbing", do you think,
the operated eye or the other one? And if I wore a contact, would
that eliminate the need for "slab off" bifocals, or maybe get me into
a progressive eyeglass lens in the one eye?
