I'm still recovering after my op in 2015. It certainly wasn't an instant improvement  and from memory it was many months if not years. I might be at the best now, but there's always hope isn't there? Some days I feel my distortion is better than others. My surgeon says that because our brains are clever and overcompensate or try to make up what they think should be there.I hate walking a woodland path in the autumn as the fallen leaves create too many patterns and my brain and eye can't sort them out. I have to look at my feet instead. It's a really weird sensation that's so difficult to explain.So maybe I do understand  your sadness a little but I still think that there's room for hope and improvement.  It's just so slow and difficult  to measure.My heart goes out to youDo contact the surgeon  though, to ask the questions. Don't assume anything</blockquote>
