where the previous poster is right, vitamin c won't improve your vision by changing the shape of your cornea, i'd be willing to be that it can help speed up the healing of your cornea, which will does affect your vision. while your corneas are still healing, your vision is still changing. it takes a good 3-6 months for the corneas to heal! you are barely one month post-op, so you're not done yet! that is why your doctors and everyone else around you tells you to be patient!

someone on one of these threads said (to you) that if your vision isn't 20/20 by the end of week one, it isn't going to be... well that isn't necessarily true. my vision was crap for almost three months before it decided to get better! i had all the same feelings you are having. i was convinced the doctor screwed up, that he'd undercorrected me, that my contacts had something to do with it, i was going to have to get glasses, i needed an enhancement, they mapped it wrong, etc.... i was SOOOO mad at my husband for talking me into getting the surgery, and i just wanted my simple life of contact lense wearing back!!! now 8 months post surgery, my vision is 20/12.5 in both eyes (has been for a couple of months now!).

anyway, i would definitely take the vitamin c! there is a product called nutraview, which contains vitamin C, lutein, blueberries, and bilberries, which are all supposed to be good for the health of your eyes. i don't recall who makes it, but your doctor might be able to tell you. also, make sure you use your artificial tears constantly! i didn't use mine enough for the first couple of months (didn't think i needed them), and at my 2 month check up my doctor said my eyes were very dry and that i needed to use them at least 4 times a day! i had a drastic improvement in my vision within days of starting that regimen,and it just kept improving after that! be patient and give yourself real time to heal!
