Hi there,

Wondering if anyone experienced problems wearing glasses after surgery? My 12 yr old son had surgery June 2nd, but also experienced many complications and 2 additional surgeries on the left side. He has tried to wear his glasses a few times throughout the summer, the last time being this past week and the glasses keep cutting into his head on the left side only. I am assuming this side is still swollen and have emailed the dr to question him about this.

I feel so bad cause Christopher really wants to wear them and is squinting all the time now and is practically sitting on top of the tv and anything else he needs to see! lol

Christopher is not alone. After my surgery I could not ware my glasses either. My Optometrist austed the side I was having troubles with. Also my left ear was a bit lower then it used to be so that was also corrected. Once I healed enough I started wareing my contacts agian until I got the laser eye correction.
Hope this helps.

I wore glasses at the time of my surgery and they ended up being too tight after surgery - they were leaving marks in the side of my head!  I ended up getting new glasses (I now wear contacts)...but any regular glasses I get now, or even sunglasses, I always check to see if they are going to leave enough room on the sides of my head.  I would just work with the optomotrist and explain they can't be too tight or too close to his temples.  They can usually bend the sides enough to leave enough room.  Or...even wire frames.
