Intermediate vision - Lasik Eye Surgery Message Board

My intermediate ( Arms length to about 10 feet) vision is much worse after Lasik. Did anyone experience that and then see improvement? I'm almost 2 weeks post op and still in the "regretting I did this" stage.

At 2 weeks post-op, this is quite common. You must give your eyes much healing time. Three months, yes 3 months, is a good guide for some initial stabilization, some may take longer.

As said many times in this forum, patience is a much needed companion for lasik.

Thanks for the reply...did you have poor intermediate vision that improved?

Yes, my own experience is that I cannot see the words on my computer screen clearly for one month plus (regrets + sighs then) and then slowly it starts getting better.

Ask anyone here and they will tell you 2 weeks is too early to call.

I have completely no problem now.
