I am two months post-lasik and went from a -10 prescription in both eyes with astigmatism to 20/30 in my right eye and about 20/50 in the left. I have been told that I was overcorrected and that I have a significant amount of astigmatism remaining in my left eye. To correct this, my doctor has prescribed acular drops 4x a day combined with contacts that I wear 24 hours a day. He said this is a post-op therapy to steepen the cornea as it is healing. One of his technicians told me that it might, in fact, help with the over-correction, but that it would not affect the astigmatism. My doctor does not plan to do an enhancement, but said if this doesn't work that he might go in with a blade. Can you tell me what success other doctors have had adjusting either the over-correction and/or astigmatism using contacts and acular? No one seems to know much about it. Thank you!
