I just got Lasik yesterday afternoon. So far I had no discomformt and have been following everything my Surgen advised. I am just a bit concerned with the results. I went to my follow-up appointment today and my doctor seemed very pleased with my vision and healing.

Others that have had Lasik told me they say immediate results right after surgery. Let me preface this by saying I do see better then I did before without my glasses. Before I had Lasik I was nearsided. Now I seem to be able to see far away, but up close is somewhat burry. I keep reaching for my glasses because I can quite focus on things. Of course my glasses don't work anymore. I asked my Doctor about my results and he told me that everyone's vision is different and in a couple days I WILL see great improvment. I think I can drive, but I am not don't feel 100% safe driving at night. Maybe I am just listening to everyone else having awesome results immediatly and feeling nervous.

Has anyone else had my situation. I would feel better just knowing that things are ok. My eyes look great in the mirror, just wondering if I should be all that concerned, or if I should let nature do it coarse?

Hi, I had Lasik a year ago and am very pleased with my results, I now have 20/15 vision, which is a little better than 20/20. If you just had the procedure done on December 3, it is too soon to judge the final results. It takes 1 week of healing for EACH degree of correction. I had 9 degrees of correction, including astigmatism, so I had 9 weeks of recovery. Also, you are still, hopefully, putting antibiotic drops in your eyes, along with lubricating drops; they add to the blurriness, but are absolutely neccessary. Remember, don't rub your eyes no matter what! You could dislodge your flap, and then you'd be in a mess. Just follow the doctor's orders. Use your drops and let your eyes heal. It takes time. (It would probably be a good idea to rest your eyes, and not read too much just yet :nono: .) Good luck, I know you'll be better in a couple weeks.

I agree with Donna.. I had mine done 4/2000 and my prescription was nearly -9 in each eye. I did see quite well right away but then about a week and a half later my vision started getting blurrier and I was getting "ghosting" when I was in dim light. However, this was merely part of the healing process - they hadn't quite explained that I would go through some ups and downs before reaching my final result. It's 4+ years later and I too have been 20/15 in both eyes ever since. Give it some time and try not to worry... it takes time for your eyes to completely heal :).

Yes, Madera reminded me that the doctor did tell me to not freak out if one day my vision was good, then the next it wasn't. It will be up and down during the healing. I guess it heals unevenly or something, but it all evens out in the end. Really. :)

It took me about 6 months after my Lasik for my eyes to really stabilize. Of course, I had a moderate astigmatism, so my optometrist warned me the healing process would take longer.
The first week after, my vision was quite blurry, I had double vision, and it fluctuated a lot. I probably would have been more worried than I was if it wasn't for my optometrist would kept assurring me that it was totally normal and that I would be very satisfied in the end. She was right!

when u guys say this, did you have it like that with both eyes being a little fuzzy or not focused? because my rights like perfect and my lefts all fuzy when i wake up, think its real dry...but if i cover each eye, they both focus ok, but together the left one makes it look a little goofy...almost like i have in one contact. its weird! Going for my checkup of 1 week today...lemme know how yours were.

My situation was similar. Firstly, both my eyes were very dry when I woke up, but the left was definitely worse than the right. Thus, it was more out of focus. During the day, the right was (and still is) better than the left. It's not uncommon for one eye to be corrected better than the other, and thus, the weaker eye will be bothersome when trying to focus both eyes together. I found this went away over time, although like I said, my left eye remains weaker than my right. But, it isn't really noticeable anymore.
As for the dry eye problems, they usually go away as well.

KelvinG, did you get that look that I do, its almost like you've got a bad contact in, and its hazy, because I just get curious how it will clear out, or if i just get used to it or what. I got kind of nervous at my checkup, cause he told me they lasered my left eye more than my right. And my right WAS the weaker one. So they confused me. Hope they didnt over correct it...both eyes were in the same ballpark tho, its like the -3.75 on the laser came out to some weird number down to the tee. Like -3.637 (just saying it was real accurate to my vision tests)...

I think i just want a miracle for it to be like BAM its perfect and today is still just 1 week 1 day after surgery ;)

expect as long as a month for healing but ive seen some take even longer. If things are blurry from near you may be slightly overcorrected or have presobia and may need reading glasses
