Hola, friends!
I have a patient who is experiencing a problem that I cannot figure out how to solve, and I'm hoping I can pick some of your brains to find something I'm not thinking of! Any help or suggestions you can provide is welcome!
The patient purchased new glasses recently and complains of "peripheral glare on the lenses". Now, he is wearing a HUGE frame, but he has worn the exact same thing for YEARS.
Habitual Rx: -1.75 + 0.50 x 105
Plano + 0.75 x 155 +3.00 add
PD: 32/34 Seg Ht: 33/33
Kodak Unique Poly Trans Grey w/ Avance'
A:59 B:51 DBL: 18 ED:65
New Rx: -1.75 + 0.50 x 105
Plano + 0.75 x 160
PD: 32/34 Seg Ht: 33/33
Shamir Auto II Trivex Trans Grey w/ Avance'
A:59 B:51 DBL:18 ED:65
Pt returned approx. 3 weeks after picking up new pair with complaint mentioned above. All adjustments on the frame were virtually identical to original pair. Pt claims never experienced in old pair. After a long while of troubleshooting, with really no answers, I decided to go ahead and remake the lenses into all the same original lens options, so we put him back in the Unique Poly Trans w/ AR. All measurements IDENTICAL. Pt picked up about 5 weeks ago, and still consistently has the same glare problem on the periphery!
I'm truly at a loss...the only thing I haven't been able to do, which I would like to do, is put the patient's original lenses back in to make sure that he absolutely is not experiencing the problem, but he threw the lenses away after he picked up the new pair
Does anybody have any thoughts on this? The patient has pretty good vision, corrected to 20/20-1 OD and 20/25 OS. IOL OD, slight Cat OS, but have spoken with Doc and she sees no reason why that would be causing any of this, plus patient is saying the problem is the same OU, so I really don't think it's related to the IOL or the Cat.
HELP PLEASE! If you need any other information, please let me know! Thanks in advance for all your feedback!
