A member asked:
Had cryopexy retina repair surgery thursday and a recheck today. was needing a -.75 contact lens in that eye before the tear and surgery and now reading 20/20 with no correction at all. how did that happen? shortening the axis or maybe temp swelling?

It could be temporary from corneal change. Your retina surgeon will tell you when your regular ophthalmologist should recheck your eyesight as part of a postop checkup. He/she will let you know, only after full healing, whether you're back to nearsightedness.
