PSC Removal & LASIK Question?


I'm a 24 y.o. male with Posterior Subcapsular Cataract removed and a ArcySof Toric IOL implanted in the left eye, and Tissue-Saving LASIK in the right done to compensate for the high myopia and Astigmatism difference between both eyes done.

VA tests done showed the following:

PRE-LASIK Right Eye:

SPH: -8.25
CYL: -3.50
AXS: 5 (degree)

POST-LASIK Right Eye:

SPH: +0.25
CYL: -2.00
AXIS: 155 (degrees)

Q: Is this a good outcome from the tissue-saving LASIK procedure? Would enhancement be likely required to achieve best glasses-free vision?

POST AcrySof Toric IOL Left Eye:

SPH: +1.25
CYL: Nil
AXIS: Nil

Q: Is this a good outcome for IOL implant? Why is distance vision still blurry (even the LASIK eye seems slightly better)? Would LASIK or any corrective procedure be required for this eye to achieve best glasses-free vision?

Q: What does my post procedure eye prescription means? Am I farsighted in both eyes with astigmatism of -2.00 in the right (LASIK) eye as well?

Please advise

both of those are reasonable outcomes. the right eye cyl may be able to be fixed with an enhancement, depending on how much cornea you have left.

makes sense that the +1.25 left eye is blurrier. yes, that could in theory be fixed with a surgical procedure.

"Am I farsighted in both eyes with astigmatism of -2.00 in the right (LASIK) eye as well?"

no. you're farsighted only int he left eye. the right eye is "mixed astigmatism"...nearly "simple myopic astigmatism". short version is that you are not farsighted in the right eye. you're only astigmatic in the right eye.
