Vision with scleral lens
Posted: Sun 22 Oct 2017 12:02 pm
I got a scleral lens 3 days ago.
Previously, I had corrected my keratoconus vision with specs. I only had a partial correction, but I only have it in one eye.
Anyway, I thought that with the scleral lens I would achieve near-perfect vision, so I thought I would give it a go.
Now, it has only been 3 days, but so far my vision seems worse.
I am struggling with a lot of ghosting/halos.
Do you think this is because it just takes a while for the brain to get used to the new correction? And that it takes a while for ones vision to settle into a new prescription?
Or do you think that the new prescription is just wrong?
It's weird, because in the hospital the eye test was great. But now in practice it just doesn't seem right?
I am wondering if it's an adjustment thing or a concrete problem!?!?!?
Anyone else with a similar experience?
I will of course try to get in touch with the optometrist chap at the hospital. But it would be helpful if anyone here also has any advice or experience that they would like to share.
Thanks,
Andrew
