Short sighted

[Janebirch1]

Has anybody gone from being long sighted to short sighted even allow long distance lens had been put in after cataract surgery or so they say

Yes. I thought they must have put the wrong lens in but haven't had time to question it properly. I had it done in November. Still having to wear glasses for clear distance vision.

Me to having a second opinion on 3rd Oct but don't hold out much hope as they say it's within acceptable measurements but I don't understand how I can be long sighted and have long sighted lens put in and become short sighted. I hold out no hope as once it's done that's it

I agree and the NHS eye service is so overworked at my clinic that it's difficult to get a proper discussion and assessment .

They have you all ways but does not help when your eye goes pear shape the only thing u can do is contact pals but it has to be with in a year

I'm just putting up with it, I have progressive glaucoma so other eye issues to deal with. I hope you get some answers in October.

Life is no fun. Putting up with it is all I think we can do.
