I had my cataracts removed in September and opted for Toric implants due to my acute astigmatism. Previously my left eye was the weaker. After the left lens replacement, I was actually able to read news print the next day. The right lens was not as successful. The day after the surgery, my surgeon discovered that the implant had rotated. Two weeks later, I had corrective surgery. Now, I apparently have near vision in my left eye and distant vision in the right eye.
I feel as though I have a constant push pull between the two. My first eye RX was off so much the distant vision left me sick to my stomach and I could not read with the bifocal. I am waiting for the new RX by a different eye doctor. There is a constant haze in my right vision which my surgeon stated he could not observe and his solution was to use a hot compress over my eyes 5 minutes a day to remove more oil from the oil glands to reduce my dry eye. I have dry eye syndrome and use Restatis daily as well as Xalatan for galucoma.
I already wash my eye lids daily as previously suggested. Any recommended actions? I am most concerned by the inability of both eyes to adjust either near or far.
