DO YOU EXPERIENCE?

Eyestrain
Pulling Sensations
Visual Fatigue
Headaches
Out-of-Balance
Image Difference between eyes



IF SO, YOU MAY HAVE A UNIQUE VISUAL CONDITION CALLED ANISEIKONIA



Aniseikonia (pronounced "an'ih-si-ko'ne-ah") is the visual condition in
which a difference in image size exists between the two eyes. Typical
symptoms are described above. A thorough binocular vision and
aniseikonia evaluation by an optometrist with experience treating
patients with aniseikonia is required to confirm the diagnosis and
decide on a treatment plan. Common recommendations may include
custom-designed iseikonic lenses (a.k.a. size lenses) and/or contact
lenses. Vision therapy (a.k.a. orthoptics) and a prismatic prescription
may simultaneously be employed to treat associated binocular
dysfunctions (eye teaming problems) and/or accommodative dysfunctions
(eye focusing problems).

So how does Lasik cause that unless the eyes are wildly different
prescriptions? More likely that your eyeballs were different sizes to
start with.

an under/over correction in one eye. The healing response can be
different for each eye. Ive seen some end up overcorrected in one eye,
under in the other. Enhancements, if they work can ameliorate this.

That is nonsense.

You don't know what anisekonia nor what the word ameliorate means.
Where did you cut and paste this gem from?

Shut up Ace, the above shows your lack of knowledge.
Give mom and dad a kiss and go to bed and remember hands above the
sheets otherwise you get even more shortsighted as you are already.
