Good days and Bad days after surgery? Normal?? - Lasik Eye Surgery Message Board

Hi again,
Would everyone say it is normal after surgery to have good days and bad days mixed all together?? Somedays I have a good day (better day than normal) with my sight and so I think it is improving and then have 2 bad days...... . . . is this normal for it to fluctuate so much. I guess I was just expecting continuous improvement once you see it and it just seems to be all over the place... I'm guessing a lot of it is due to dry eyes, I will talk about it with my Dr. this next week.
Patience I know.

ha...

Thanks again...
Cari

Hi Cari,

Yes, good days and bad days are DEFINITELY normal. I was also expecting slow continuing improvement, but that is not what I'm experiencing at all. I have good days, where my eyes feel almost completely normal, then bad days when they feel very dry and uncomfortable, and my vision is not quite as clear. I think it should be approached as more of a "two steps forward, one step back" kinda thing. Things like environment, the weather, heaters etc. can play a major role in your dryness issues as well, so keep that in mind. Hopefully as we continue on in healing we will just start to notice more good days than bad, and eventually no bad at all. Happy New Year!
