Before I start off this post about my recent appointment trying to correct my vision, I did happen to go hospital the week before in the form of an emergency one. I was experiencing very painful headaches. So this leads to me going in, but the pressure in both my eyes was apparently okay, and the onboard eye expert said it could be the eye drops making some trouble, in which to just try and relax as much as possible, and use moisturising eye drops whenever possible.
Anyway, here’s the main blog:
Yesterday, I had an appointment to see if glasses/contact lenses would help with the severe astigmatism that I have after my cornea transplant.
All I know about the astigmatism is that it’s very severe. Glasses COULD help with my vision, but as I do have one good eye, the glasses would consist of one thick lens and the other being normal. This would cause some problems with my brain trying to understand what’s going, thus confusing, and then thus making it a very difficult job to try and tolerate it. So the glasses are a no.
EDIT: Glasses would be a no for me anyway because, apparently, my pupil doesn’t contract as well as it should, as thus have a larger-than-normal pupil. <insert bowie eye reference here>
We did try contact lenses, but the ones that the lovely ladies fit in were a tad tight and were very uncomfortable. So my contact lens specialist said that we’d have to go back another time while she orders some more lenses, but did say that the lenses would likely not improve anything. Which would mean having incision surgery to fix the astigmatism. YAY MORE SURGERY YAS!!! I say that with sarcasm, obviously.
I don’t know when I come back to try out the new contact lenses that are being ordered for me, but the next time I definitely know I’ll be back with my consultant is late October.
