Question
Dear Mr Anand,

Thanks for your response on my earlier Query. I am very cool now.

The Power before the Surgery was -18 on the Left eye and  - 16 on the right eye.

I opted for a Multifocal lens worth 25k (Doc said it is imported from US)

Now,After the Surgery i am able to read newspaper/computer text at 1.5 to 2 feet distances(60 cms) max.

I am able to  watch television clearly at 1.5 metres distances. Beyond this distance, I am not able to figure out the faces in the television.

Yesterday, i checked up with my doctor . The Power at Left eye is -4 and right eye is -2.5 . It is exactly 1 week over from the Surgery .

Should i wait for another 2-3 weeks so that, i will come to know on the residual power or i can opt for a glass to view the distant objects?

Please advice.

Thanks  a tonn for the earlier response

Regards,
Gopi

Answer
Dear Gopi,
Ideally you must wait for at least 4 weeks before taking glasses for far numbers as this may change as the internal healing continues for some time.

Let me know your progress.
Regards,
Dr Shroff
