Do not recommend undergoing the procedure if the defect is relatively small, as the risk is very high.
The laser procedure was performed at Optegra in Poland, at their facility in Kraków. As a result of the procedure on my right eye, my near vision has improved; however, my distance and intermediate vision have worsened. I have not achieved independence from glasses—quite the opposite: instead of one pair, I now need two.
Optegra stated that this is due to factors such as age and the decompensation of hyperopia. However, I believe that such circumstances should have been taken into account at the planning stage of the procedure, rather than relying on the assumption that the situation might improve on its own.
I was also informed that the symptoms I reported are due to the “mechanisms and limitations of the monovision strategy and individual intolerance to this method.” In short, Optegra explains this by saying that the method is essentially “hit and miss,” acknowledging that it sometimes does not work.
The proposed enhancement would come at the expense of distance vision, and I would still need to wear glasses—this time for distance. I do not recommend undergoing the procedure if the defect is relatively small, as the risk is very high.
