I had PRK surgery 4 months ago and my right eye is 66 vision while the left is 69. With pinhole, the left eye goes to 66. My doctor found a scratch on the corneal stroma in my left eye and prescribed fluorometholone drops with lubricants. I've been using them for 2 months but my vision isn't improving to match the right eye. Why isn't it getting better and what else can be done?

After PRK surgery, if your vision hasn‚Äôt improved, the cause might be related to the corneal scratch or dry eye. Further treatments like additional lubrication, steroids, or corrective measures may be required.

Which monofocal lens is better for cataract surgery Tecnis 1 or something else? I'm trying to decide what to go with and want to know the pros and cons of each option

Both the Tecnis 1 monofocal lens and others like the AcrySof Natural are great choices. Tecnis 1 offers excellent clarity and contrast, but the choice depends on your specific needs (like astigmatism). Discuss with your ophthalmologist the best lens for your lifestyle and visual needs.
