My Name is Asim Rehman and I am 26 years old male from Pakistan. I used to wear glasses since 1999 and my prescription at that time was
Left Eye: -1.75 -1.00 180 6/6
Right Eye: -2.5 no Cylinder 6/6

I used these glasses for almost 2 years till 2001 and I was very comfortable with them and had not any minue problem.then I suddenly quit wearing those glasses (hardly wears) and walk n work uncorrected in order to just reduce dependency on glasses and now after 4 years of without glasses (exam on 10-aug-2005) my eyesight regressed to

Right Eye: Sph -2.00 Cyl:-2.25 6/6
Left Eye: Sph -1.5 Cyl:-3.00 6/6

Note; No
Karatoconus & other disease found in eye exam

I have a very strong regret that my eyesight worsens because of not wearing those glasses (an Ophtholmologist told me that as I did''nt wear my glasses for too long so it is because of "Squintting"{of the eyes that caused this severe astigmatism). Plz tell me is it because of that (and do I have a genuine regret?) or it was a natural Phenomenan which was unavoidable? and also can I treat this severe Astigmatism as I am not feeling comfortable with glasses due to this high amount of astigmatism (Life is all Blurry without glasses Ah! & glasses always put strain on my eyes and I am always in trouble 24/7). These days I am thinking seriously about LASIK too.Plz tell me . looking forward to hear from any of the board Docs.

Also I had my Orbscan done recently and have following readings.


OS OD
PBFS 52.9D 52.4D
Difference 0.026mm 0.028 mm
K1 47.0 dptr 46.4 dptr
K2 43.4 dptr 43.4 dptr
WTW 11.5mm 11.4mm
Pupil Dia 4.7mm 4.8mm
Thinnest Point 600um 600um
Pachy Ratio 1.11um 1.11um

Also I will be happy if any of the Board Doc will review my Orbscan through email.
