Wow, you have the exact pre and post op results that I had, and I mean down to the diopter - it's scarry.
I am at 6 weeks (48yo/male), +1 over and have pretty crummy near vision (within 4-5 feet). My good eye is 20/15 and I can read fairly well with just this eye at 2 feet. Now, I live with reading glasses around my neck to survive. My doctor has mentioned CK on my overcorrected eye or that it may still regress (beyond 6 weeks post-op) to near normal...so far it has hung around +1 since but he insists that it probally will regress more - during the second and even third month.
How are things going with you since your enhancement, still unsatisfactory - any suggestions that I may use.
Thanks and good luck with your recovery.
Dave
