| I could use some prayers. Hi YorkieTalk family. I went to the eye doctor yesterday- kinda just because I haven't been in ages (had lasik eye surgery 5 years ago.. and see quite well.. or so i thought) During all the tests he closed my left eye so i could only see out of my right and my vision was very very blurry. Turns out my cornea is becoming cone shaped as opposed to the semi circle shape it should be. This is causing the blurry vision in my one eye- howver since my left eye sight is so good- i don't notice it on a daily basis. The eye doctor has contacted the people who did the laser vision surgery to see if this was an issue before or after the surgery and will base how progressive this is on those results- i havent' heard back yet. If it is progressing quickly, i may need to wear a hard contact lens (really don't want to have to do that) and should it progress too quickly i would need a cornea transplant (really REALLY REALLY don't want that... can't even fathom that...) I'm hoping since i haven't noticed my vision changing that it isn't progressing and that it will remain stable - i'm only 25!!! Anyways- any prayer you could spare would be great- i'm very very stressed out about this. |

Therapy Dog Donating Member | Oh Marci I am so sorry...I hope that the docs who originally did the Lasik can correct it. I had mine done many years ago and thankfully all went well. Let's hope for the best and if something has to be done let's pray it's minor and not a corneal transplant.

| Thanks he seemed to lead me to believe that should this be something that in the past 2 years (that's when i was last at the lasik place for a check up) has gotten worse- that the hard lense should keep it from getting worse- it seemed that the transplant was WAY in the future- if i even needed it at all. |

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh dear Marci! How scary for you , I'm sorry you're going through this. Sounds like your doctor is on top of it, and that's good. I wore hard contacts way back when, and they're a little odd to get used to, but over time it was just fine and I couldn't even feel them anymore. You are in my thoughts. Big hugs to you.

So if your eye is fairly bad, it's gonna hurt! My prescrip for nearsightedness is -11.00! No kidding. And acuvue is the only brand that makes the prescription that strong, AND the highest they go is -12.00. So when I get old I'm screwed. Oh I'm 29 and have been wearing glasses since 2nd grade, and contacts since 4th grade. I have never met anyone with eyesight as poor as mine, or even close to it. If you have bad vision tell me your prescription! I'm curious does anyone out there exist???
