Pilocarpine

[Martin Kuster]

Greetings everyone,

I haven't posted in a while. On my last hospital visit they measured my vision as 6/12 in the right eye and 6/9 in the left eye with glasses. I know that's probably not bad but if you work each day in front of a VDU for 8 hours the ghosting is pretty annoying.

Anyway, as I have posted earlier corneal RGPs and scleral lenses won't work for me because of massive ghosting. At the hospital they reckoned that my pupils are on the largish side and have prescribed Pilocarpoine 0.5% to make them contract slightly. After using it for a while now, I would say it does reduce the ghosting very slightly but my vision varies that much that it's hard to tell. Has anybody else ever used Pilocarpine?
