She's moved here recently from the Mid-west and always had a minimal mild plus spherical correction for her right eye even though cylinder was always present due to a corneal issue* that was recently addressed with Map Dot Dystrophy surgery (new to me!). The MD's office corrected with a -2.50 cyl power but that proved completely intolerable so our OD's refraction cut it back to the present 2.00.
She has always had issues with vision away from the optical centers but this high cyl is now all new to her and frustrating with any off axis gaze which her horizontal prism is exacerbating with vertical(?) (just read about this on another thread...gotta love my Optiboard!).
The new FT28 trivex bifocals are so distracting that she only wears them for distance when she infrequently drives as her gaze does not involve bumping into the seg lines.
She would like to have one pair do it all but will gladly use multiple pairs if that is the only practical solution.
Notes from MD: Pseudophakia OU , thyroid eye disease and *corneal epithealial and basement membrane dystrophy.
I need my doc to give me best corrected acuity tomorrow as I think it is limited.
Until then thanks for your input!
