Howdy All,
I have a patient who, has just returned to my office since her last visit 4 years ago. Her Rx has changed significantly since then. There is no evidence of macular degen., corneal abnormalities, Has the very start of a cataract - no impact, however, the concern, according to the doc is retinal "stretching."
The Quandry!; Her previous Rx, with high index Essilor Natural progressive was
-2.00 -1.50 x 28 -6.50 -1.00 x 150 / 2.00 add ou. Basically a 4.5d difference between eyes. It was discussed with the doc at that time of visit of the possibility of slaboff, but found it would not be necessary. Now with her new Rx:
-2.75 -1.75 X 17 -9.00 -1.25 x 155 / 2.25 add ou. Here we have a 6.25d difference between eyes, contacted the doc again, but this time he is unsure as to the use of slaboff. Should it be considered? With Progressives? What would you do and why?
Thanks for popping by and contributing your thoughts.
:cheers:
Cowboy
