| Prescription Before the Operation
Hello,
I'm tentatively scheduled for Epi-Lasik on both eyes July 30th. I'm 26 years old.
The surgeon said he thinks I'm eligible, but here's the thing. My left eye has been stable for a little over a year at -2.50D (as measured by my regular optometrist). I've worn contacts/glasses with this prescription and I see great with them. But when the eye surgeon's office measured my prescription at my consultation, they got -1.75D in that eye. The surgeon said I was seeing 20/20 with the -1.75D strength. There was no change in my right eye's measurements between the two doctors.
Did anyone else have this experience, where two different doctors come up with two different prescriptions? If allowed, I wonder if I should proceed with the surgery. The eye surgeon's office did say they will re-test my prescription, cornea measurements, etc. the day of surgery and if there's a change, they may recommend waiting.
