Anisometropia between surgeries
Hi I’m in the UK and had my right eye done last Friday. Surgery went well and I have pretty good vision in that eye (although surgeon left some behind due to position on the eye which will need some laser at a later point). Healing is good and I’m using the drops fine.
I have high myopia (I was around -6 in both eyes prior). I’m due to have my second eye done they say around 6 weeks after the first - I have a follow up with my optician 4 weeks post op but I don’t have a date for the second eye yet.
I work full time from home using screens. I’m currently off sick following the surgery. I’m finding the difference between my eyes completely disorienting and I can’t use screens or watch tv etc (I’m writing this by closing my operated eye and bringing the phone up to my left eye). I need reading glasses for reading in my right eye)
What do I do about work? I tried taking a lens out of my old glasses but that didn’t work. I do have contacts and wearing one was slightly easier to see, but I haven’t been able to tolerate them for long periods for years due to dry eyes. But I suppose I could wear one for work until the second op (which could be ages away). But I know that will be rough.
Would staying off until the second op be reasonable?
