Hi there,

I had Custom Lasik (Ladarvision) back in early Sept. Since that time, my vision has varied from ok to where now it seems both eyes are regressing.

My doctor says my right eye is definately a candidate for an enhancement. He says currently my left is not ( too close to perfect he says ) although from a visual acuity standpoint...its not too much better than the right.

In anycase, given it's been 3mos and my vision is to the point now where my myopia is bothering me, is it ok to get glasses and wait a few more months ( 6-9 ) for an enhancement? I have heard that glasses could cause me problems with the lasik progress or enhancement. I just figure 3mos seems early for an enhancement and would rather wait a few more months and at the same time see more comfortably.

Whats the deal with glasses post lasik and pre-enhancement? Good, bad or ugly?

Thanks!

Everything I have read states to wait until you have had at least two stable eye exams at least 3 months apart (so at least 6 months).
