My Complains
I made a post at Lasermyeye forums. It goes something like this..
I’m currently trying out WAVE Technology RGP lens after several unsuccessful attemps with normal Reverse Geometry RGP. This new lens is supposed to give a better fitting, I’m not that sure about the details, perhaps someone can explain more about this?
I’ve been wearing them for almost two weeks (8 or more hours per day), they do fit better than the previous lenses that I’d tried but still not perfect. Both left and right lens tend to move/stay slightly towards the upper eye lids, resulting some ghosting effects (and double vision) that appear at the top of any bright objects.
There are several things that I’ve noticed and made me worried, I was wondering whether this is normal for RGP lens wearer (especially those who have tried WAVE lens before).
1. Haloes & Glares around sharp strong yellow lightings, I’m seeing a big halo around lights especially spotlights from vehicles & street lamps. The halo is big enough to cover the vehicles number plate which is very disturbing. On top of that , I’m seeing some funny patterns (a lot of tiny dots/spots aligned in a square inside the halo). A bit hard to explain, I’ll try to create some images to describe better. I don’t remember seeing these when I’m wearing normal RPG though. Maybe this is due to the nature of the WAVE technology lens?
2. Night vision is still a problem, especially traffic lights. When I look at the normal ‘green arrow light’ maybe 50 meters away, I will see one big patch of green color light instead of a nice green color arrow. I cannot make out the sign until I’m very near to it.
3. Strangely, when I look at the Snellen Chart, I can see ‘almost’ 20/20, but when I’m outside, I still need to wear my glasses (-1.00 for both eyes) in order to see clearly. My OD insisted that I don’t need glasses at all, the truth is, I really need them. why?
4. Post lens bad vision. This worries me the most, when I take off my lens, I become very hopeless, I can’t even make out words at very near distance, everything is blurry. My OD told me that this effect will last only for a few hours. Well, that’s not very true. My experience tells me (based on previous lens try) that my eyes won’t return to normal state until the 4th day without RGP lens on.
I’ve been told to wear them everyday for more than 8 hours.Therefore, I never had the chance to let my cornea to return to its original state. Left eye post lens vision is terrible, it’s always blurry (double/triple effects), meaning I have to wear the lens all the time. According to them, after one month of wearing they will fit well and the lens will fit on the center by itself.
Is that true?? Any opinions and experience is very much appreciated.
Thanks
