CONTINUATION OF....ReZoom Reflections and Astigmatisn
by Shopchops, Feb 11, 2007 12:00AM
I also have a strange problems I have never seen on this site...
1. At night, (mostly indoors) when overhead or any other light source hits my eyes AT AN ANGLE from either above me, below, or from either side, I can actually see reflection of the rings in the rezoom lens. Depending on how the light is hitting, bright white, curved lines with little starburst lines though them appear. When I move my eyes around or turn my head, they move, too. Dr. said it was the lines in the different lens zones and that it was "normal" and I should just try to "ignore" them. It almost is like the lense doesn't fit right with the curvature of the eye as it almost looks at times like an "air pocket" moves the lense around. Has anyone else had this? I think it may be caused by my astigmatism, no matter how slight. He looks into my eyes with a light and says the lens is centered. When I wore glasses, they had to adust the left lens to include an astigmatism as that eye was slightly blurry without it. What would make the IOL's any diffeent any why would the Dr. dismiss that as a possible cause. If anyone can please help me figure out some possible causes for this, it would be most appreciated!
2. My ghosting apears below the object on the left eye and above it on the right eye. Strange...but that reverses at a nearer reading distance!!! The ghosting is above the text on the left eye and below it on the right!!! Thanks so much and hope someone can give me some insight. I really need to know if a slight astigmatism could be causing these problems and if I should ask it be correct

' I can actually see reflection of the rings in the rezoom lens'
exceedingly common. no way to fix it. NOT caused by astigmatism. if you had the astigmatism corrected, you would still have the ghosting problem you dsecribe.

please only post 1 question per day. there are a LIMITED number of new questions, and posting the same question multiple times prevents someone else from asking their question.
