Should I get a new Doc?
When I first was fitted with this doc my vision in my right eye went to 20/20. However it turns out that my sclera lens needed an adjustment. Next lens brought my vision from 20/20 to 20/30. Doc didn't seem concerned and said that's the correct fitting but didn't do a good job explaining why it got worse and did not stay the same.
He recommended me for Cross linking. Told me my vision my change and I may need a new prescription on my lens after. I had the cross linking done with a different Doc. Upon the follow up after the procedure they recommended me for a new lens since my eye changed for the better after the procedure. I go into my sclera lens doc and he's says he's surprised they recommended me for a change in prescription. I said you also said I may need a change after the cross linking. He said that's not right bc the lens sits over the cornea an in essence makes a new artificial cornea so the underlying vision of the eye doesn't matter. I then asked why the lens has a prescription on if it is just there to bend the light correctly into the eye. He the proceeds to use the equipment they use for your prescription were they say what looks better. 1, 2 or 3. I'm sorry Idk what it's called. However I still have my already prescribed lens in when he does this instead of the lens they give you with no prescription in when you first get fitted for a lens. My vision did get noticeable better on 3. He prescribed me a new lens. It just came in and my vision is worse then the one I just had. BTW my vision went to 20/40 after the cross linking with the lens on instead of 20/30.
Mind you I've also been told my keratoconus hasn't gotten any worse.
This just doesn't seem correct to me. By prescription are they just referring to the fitting. Or do these lenses have a prescription on them. Idk something just seems off with this.
I apologize for any inconsistencies or spelling errors. I'm at work and do not have time to prood read and edit.
