I was wondering if anyone has experienced eye pressure/strain after their surgery. I am 6 months post op this week. I can honestly say that I am just now starting to feel like myself. My neurologist prescribed effixor (anti-depressant) to help speed up the process.....he also said that this may help the minor headaches that I get by the end of the work day......But, ever since the surgery, I am having much difficulty wearing my glasses and contact lenses. I have worn invisible bifocals for years without any problems, but now, it seems that its just too many powers going on and I feel very dizzy. Then when I put my contacts on, I feel pressure and strain in my eyes that cause headaches......And, I definately cant wear my normal prescription. I need to put in a lower power in order not to have them bother me. I have an appt at Wills Eye Hospital on Thurs to see a neuro opthalmologist......Any idea of what kind of exam she will do? The only time the eyes don't hurt is when I have nothing on....no glasses or contacts.......but I can't see ! Thanks for any input.............KathleenAnna
