Yes- I am about one month post op and still have blurriness in my left eye. It fluctuates some but has never gone away. I'm hoping it will by my next post-op ( Oct 23). If not, I hope they can do an enhancement. There are lots of people on this board who had blurriness and it cleared it. My doc's tech told me it's the cornea healing that causes it. Best wishes.

I echo NUGEME's post.
I am now day 17 post op and my right's perfect, left is slightly blurry. It is, however, starting to improve. The cornea is very slow at metabolising and it does take time. I had exctly the same symptoms as you, perfect day 1 test, then blurriness appearing. In my case I had inflammation in the cornea, which is being treated with a steroid anti-inflammatory. I am having weekly checks and have my consultant's mobile phone number in case of deterioration. He believes it will settle over the next month and is charting the eye each week so he can see improvement week on week.
Do not panic, but do get it checked out. There is a good chance you have some sterile gunk/ scar tissue that will take a while to heal - but you must be sure you do not have an infection, that is dangerous and would need treatment asap.
Regards, and don't panic ... as you can see it is normally a case of time being the healer -

It is normal for your vision to fluctuate while they are healing which can take 3-6 months. Also be sure you're getting enough sleep and using plenty of artificial tears.
