Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am male, 36 years old. I have eye powers 3.75 in my right eye and 2.75 in left eye both high cylinder. I have doctors prescription for glasses but after I bought the prescription glasses, I can read only for a few seconds and immediately printed text looks double. In the morning, I can read without glasses but in the evening I cannot read even with glasses. There is a lot of strain in the eyes when I try to read the fine print. I did not have glasses till two years back. With my left eye, I can read the normal texts without glasses so I did not get it tested. I do not want to go for LASIK surgery because numbers are not stable. Please guide me by alternative treatment to reduce and stabilize prescription number.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
By going through your query I could understand that you are not able to tolerate your glasses. Glasses even though they correct your vision, the muscle balance can be achieved only after a few weeks of adjustment. During this period the glasses are to be continuously worn even though that is causing discomfort. Eye drops HPMC (Hypromellose) can be used frequently as and when needed. Reading should be done under bright light. The minimum distance between eyes and book should be 33 cm for the eyes to be comfortable. I would be able to suggest the feasibility of contact lenses after I see your glasses prescription paper.
