Ultra High Myopia 1st eye done

Ultra High Myopia 1st eye done

Had my first eye (-16) done on Monday. I chose near vision for that eye and it was set at -1.5. After removing patch it was cloudy but gradually cleared up. Everything was easy and I’m happy with my new eye. I see perfectly at 18” out to maybe 5 feet. I can see closer or farther but it gets a little blurry. My next eye (-10.5) will be for distance and happens 6/1. For ultra high myopia, having the difference between them right now is miserable. I can’t see with glasses on to drive and I can’t see without them. It’s called anisometropia vision and the doctor had no advice. I have tried the glass lens popped out of the right side but my brain can’t handle it. i have another pair with the lens in but I can’t see either. Two weeks is a long time to put your life on hold. But I have to live with it 🤷‍♀️ I hope this information helps someone else to know what to expect. I spent months worrying about my choice but I’m happy. I did use this setup with my contact lenses for years so I knew what it was like.
