lasik recovery time
I had wavefront lasik last wednesday. My eyes are still blurry and dry. I can drive at night without glasses, but seeing the street signs is a bit difficult. There are halos around every light. I have to wear sunglasses when it's sunny. I have trouble reading digital clocks.
To anyone who has had this done, how long will all this last? I'm a bit nervous: This is my vision. |

I know next time I have a serious medical issue, I'm gonna ask a bunch of random people on OOT instead of my doctor.

Re: lasik recovery time
It took me about a month before that went away, I was told this was a little longer than average because I sat in front of a computer looking at numbers all day at work and that's a big strain on the eyes.
I only had the problem at night though. In the mornings it was fine. If you are having blurred vision all day I would suggest calling the doctor that did the surgery. |

Re: lasik recovery time
Well, I just called my Doctor. He should be calling me back soon. I needed that kick in the ass, though. Nonetheless, I really did overstate my concern. Everything I've read suggest the vision will be blurry from a few days to a few months. I just wanted some testimonials from people who have gone through this before.
The redness hasn't even gone away yet which suggest, to me, that my eyes are still swollen. I don't suppose you should expect to see perfectly with swollen eyes. Still, if there are others out there who've been here, I'd appreciate your comments. |

A week after my surgery my eyes were a bit dry at times. I was told to use eyedrops every 2-3 hours. I didn't have any trouble with street signs at night or halos. The sunglasses are normal. They should have given you special super protective sunglasses to wear for 2 weeks after surgery. Shouldn't have a problem with digital clocks either. See your doctor. Shouldn't you have had 2 followups by now? They had me do a followup after 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and finally 1 year after the surgery. When's your next followup? P.S. LASIK pwns. Highly recommended to anyone, and I recommend TLC Vision Center (the people who did Tiger Woods's surgery). Went from being unable to read the big "E" on the eyechart to 20/15 vision in a matter of minutes. Lasik FTW. |

Re: lasik recovery time
Mine was done February 1999. I had 20/400 vision (20/500 is considered legally blind I believe). I ended with 20/30 in one eye, 20/20 in the other.
Best money I ever spent. The night halos sucked tho. |

Re: lasik recovery time
Are there any drawbacks? My mother claims you lose "depth of vision," whatever that means. Maybe she means depth perception.
Also, how risky a procedure is it? |
