Anyone Had Monovison Lasik And...

[krwebster]

never gotten "use" to it? I had LASIK last Monday (5/24) & the doctor told me that I needed to get "monoish" (slight monovision) LASIK done. Well, I did and as of today I can say for sure that I hate it! I know that the healing time can be up to 3 months but I can't imagine all summer like this. Distance vision is OK - but reading, computer is so blurry, Plus I see "star-bursts" on almost everything. Any help, advice, encouragement, etc. would be appreciated!

MY DH and I had LASIK about 5 years ago , we did it the same day
He had what is called monovision , one eye close up one eye distance . I didn't cause I tryed contacts like that and could not get use to it at all .So I just did it for distance
We both did great . Pete had night glasses for a little while while he drove the no more. It took all this time for me to need cheater glasses for reading or computer work
We did need to use wetiing drops for a while too Pete still dosn't need anything and loves the monovision

I have monovision lasik, had it done about 5-6 years ago, before I needed reading glasses. The doctor didn't want to do it, she was afraid I wouldn't get used to it. I've had no trouble whatsoever, and I'm so glad that I don't need reading glasses. I had a good idea that I would adjust well, my job in the military, imagery interepretation, required me to look through a microscope sort of thing at 2d imagery that I had to make in to 3d with my brain.

You can always go back and have them touch up the one eye to 20/20
