Re: does any one else need there prescription for glasses change
Hallo Steven,
I see your isg info says you've had graft(s). Are you talking about a change in prescription after a graft, or of an ungrafted eye?
If it's a grafted eye, how long ago was the graft?
I'm told eyes can keep changing with monotonous regularity for a year - 18 months after a graft. Unfortunately, they just have to take the time to settle down - which can get very expensive in glasses.
One way round this is to fitscleral lenses after a graft - then the reservoir of tears between the lens and the eye can absorb a lot of changing eye shape before a refit is needed. If one can find a fitter and can wear sclerals.

During the recovery period after surgery, your prescription will change a lot and quite quickly. I think it took me about two years for my prescription to settle down and stabilize.
I now have good sight with glasses on my right eye and a contact lens on my left. My prescription is now stable, although I do have to go quite regularly to have it checked.
Like Rosemary I am not sure at what stage you have arrived? If you are at an early stage of recovery, then you can expect things to settle down over the coming months.
All the best
