Well, as usual, this is going to take some trial and error!
I have tried three different RGPs (Essilor Perimeter Lens) and cannot tolerate any of them – the mini-scleral was pushing a “grove” into my sclera – apparently my eye was swelling around it?
I can wear them 7-8 hours, but my eye is very sore afterward. I am now going to be trying a custom-profiled soft lens. The manufacturer apparently uses my topography to construct them. I was hoping I could use a soft lens, so we’ll soon know.
Koffler Vision Group is doing a great job.

Hi Scott,
Just wanted to ask a question. I finally scheduled my surgery date with Dr. Holland for July 9th. He asked if I wanted to be awake or asleep. He said most people are awake if they can stay still for a period of time. I said I would stay awake. What did you do? Any comments. Thanks Leslie

Leslie – sorry, not sure how I missed your question. Anyway, I chose to be awake – as you may have read in my early post-surgery posts. I found it fascinating and mostly comfortable. I liked listening to the Dr. give instructions. I was not really that awake – more like twilight sleep. But I can remember most of the surgery. At the end, during sutures, I felt pain and was able to signal to Dr. Holland – and the “pain guy” cranked things up. All better. Mostly what I did was moan. My eye was immobile, but near the end that wore off (on purpose) and Dr. Holland asked me to move my eye around – I guess to look at things.
