after unsuccesfull laser surgery to my both eyes i did have lensectomy but my eyesight is still changing why?

Q: three years ago i underwent a lasic procedure to my both eyes in aim to achieve mono vision that was unsuccesfull and after 18 months doctor reccomended and performed a lensectomy which was not a 100% neither now my vision is still changing and doctor is saying it is cos of a astigmatism in my eyes. Is there any way i can have my eysight corrected after having the procedures done as i just can not tolerate the glasess on my nose it is giving me headache and they stress me out

A: Sorry about your misfortunes with the surgery. After the lensectomy your vision shouldn’t be changing, however that surgery does not correct astigmatism so you could do a LASIK retreatment to get rid of the astigmatism. If the surgeon did both your LASIK and lensectomy and you are not happy with him/her, you should get a 2nd or even 3rd opinion – maybe with a more experienced surgeon. Good luck.
