Bttt for your update
The other big change is the brightness of the colors. What I had thought were some greenish blues have turned out to be actual blues! Orange tints to things had crept up on me over a space of time and I had not noticed it. There is a slight color tint difference between my left eye and right eye now, with truer colors in my right eye.
The surgeon is recommending I wait for a while before having my left eye done and using an extended wear contact lens to correct that eye. The color issue may tilt me over into going ahead and having it done. . . and having that lens set for reading distance. Then I would never have to wear glasses again.
Followup appointment one week from now. . . and I will discuss that with my surgeon. Any advice from all of you who've gone either route?
