I had wave front guided lasik with Visx on 2/24. Anyone else's bags under their eyes getting worse? I look like I have been partying like a rock star. :eek:

Hey there BE! Gosh, we're talking in another forum. I finally broke away from the PRK forum for awhile.

Anyway, don't know if this helps but I found this question/answer board on the Internet. It mentioned baggy eyes after lasik. Here is the QA from it: (Don't know if this is your cause or not, but might want to check with your doctor). ;)

Q: How does your theory fit in with LASIK? Does LASIK affect facial muscle tension?
A: LASIK involves reshaping the cornea with a laser, and it has no effect on facial muscle tension. LASIK doctors count on a patient's vision improving in the days and weeks following the procedure. LASIK patients who have worn glasses (instead of contacts) for years and years will likely see the biggest difference or the most fluctuations in their vision after LASIK. I believe this is due to the fact that they no longer have the weight of a pair of glasses sitting on their face, and the facial muscles are starting to relax. Prior to the procedure, LASIK doctors will ask eyeglass wearers to go without their glasses and to wear contacts for up to two weeks prior to surgery. They realize that it takes longer for an eyeglass wearer's vision to stabilize than a contact lens wearer.
