New Contacts/Glasses TWICE since surgery!

[cindymg 629]

At 6 weeks post op I noticed that my contacts weren't fitting right anymore, and my glasses seemed blurry. Went in for an exam, indeed my eyes had changed and i bought two new pair of glasses, and new contacts.

Now at 4 months post op, my eyes have changed again! I am a type 2 diabetic, and my blood sugar was really bad before my surgery (A1C was 10.7). My blood sugar is now under control and A1C is in the 6's. The optometrist says that affects the eye shape and I have become less nearsighted. Now I need all new lenses! That's for two pairs of glasses and contacts!

Fortunately, it's not going to cost me that much, as the optical store is going to cover the new lenses for me. I will pay again for the anti-glare coating.

So not really an NSV, as it is costing me another $200. But I wish I'd known my eyes were going to change that quickly!

Have you ever tried ordering online? I've used zennioptical.com for years and have been very happy with all of my $8-15 glasses. I'm hoping my astigmatism goes away when I no longer have a fat face pushing my eyeballs out of shape lol

Sorry, that's $8-$15 per pair. They have more expensive ones but I'm cheap lol

I never would have thought about that! Thanks for sharing! I have my yearly eye exam 3 days after my surgery, so I will most definitely put it off until I run out of contacts. I've used that site too and they have really cute and fun frames.

Thanks for the recommendation.
