change in prescription

[Ironer]

I had trabulectomy 1st August , wasn’t without major ups & downs then in Nov settled a little to 12 pressure & consultant said could go ahead & get new prescription , as I only have good sight in this eye.

So before Xmas got new specs & really felt I was getting back to normal life.

Then at my Dec appointment pressure went up to 16 so was put on Tiopex & wait till Jan & possibility of needling.

Then after seeing consultant 14th Jan pressure was 16 so decided to have needling and am booked in on March 7th

However a week after my appointment felt vision wasn’t as sharp and my optician is wonderful so tested again and my shortsighted gone from -7.5 to -10.5 which she thinks might be the cataract causing.

I’m going again to her next week as vision feels like it’s changed again. My optician is brilliant & just keeps changing the one lens in my frames to keep cost down.

This gas knocked my confidence again & really worried about having needling done.

Feels like this is never ending .

Has anyone had such changes in perception in such a short time ?

Yes I had a similar thing. It was in the early days of bring diagnosed with glaucoma. I was extremely short-sighted with a prescription of -10. Once I had my cataracts done, my eyes settled down completely. Well done to your supportive optician and good luck getting it sorted.

From my own experience you may need repeated needling, with consequent shifts in spec prescripiton. It would help to have the cat dealt with (might reduce IOP too) to stabilise that influence on prescription. How often to change specs will be a continuing vexation, I'm afreaid!
