I'd love to hear from members of the group if any have experienced a 0.5% difference between the target and final result. If you did have this experience, did you stay with the same surgeon for your second eye or change to a different surgeon. If you wouldn't mind sharing, how did you make such a decision and did everything work out in the end.

Many thanks.

    Do you perhaps mean 0.5 diopters in difference? 0.5% difference between the target and the final result is next to nothing.

    Did you mean to say a 0.50 Diopter difference between target and outcome? If so, both of my eyes were under a 0.25 D difference on a spherical equivalent basis.
