I'm having my eyes done later this year. I fret that I'm going to be sooooo bored. You can only watch/listen the LOTR so many times.
Can you do any hand work?

Your pushing it. It heals very fast and now I don't even wear glasses unless I am on the computer. Make sure you always wear sunglasses in the sun and the bright snow and you will be just fine. Had both eyes done 1 month apart and no problems. - J

Did any of you have the implant for astigmatism - I received the toric lens which I had to pay for. Thanks for all your comments - much appreciated. Just trying to be patient but its hard when you're a person who can't sit still. I think I've had enough coffee for a month now - LOL.

I feel your flustration. I went to Walmart and got a cheap pair of glasses until I got my other eye done.

I have had both of my eyes done the right one first, it is hard at first to do close work, but once you eye heals and you get a new prescription for your glasses you will be very happy and be able to see so much better. Hang in there it will get better

I have only one good eye and that has a cornea transplant. It took a full 18 months to function properly and I have the pieces I sewed to show for it! At least I can see and sew!

Your story is much like mine ... ten years ago!

The time between the two surgeries (three weeks for me) was ever-so frustrating, as the two eyes were focusing in two totally different ways. Before the first surgery, I was legally blind, and while that was the case, at least they worked together in that bad state!

Vision in the first was unbelievably great when checked the day after, and continued improvement. I did start driving again, the day after the surgery. In all honesty, I couldn't believe how great it was ... and what I had come to forget what I should have been able to see, and could not. And then when the second was done ... I was ever so elated.

My two opthamologists know that I praise the ground they walk on .... for bringing me from blindness and giving me a life again!!!!!

Husband went through same problem. He was as far sighted as can be. Doctor said he probably was legally blind without glasses. First surgery was good until the difference in sight for each eye. He laid on the couch for two weeks. There is no solution because the brain cannot process the change of two different visions. Just rest because after will only be good. You won't remember the problems in a few years or they will be a distant memory. This only happens to those with severe problems that make the difference in sight difficult. Good luck

Patience my dear. This too shall pass when the other eye is done. I feel for you but just think 'it could be worse'.
