Re: I had LASIK 5 days ago... HELP!

Quick question -
Has anyone else had a problem with severe itchiness? Specifically on the inner corner of your eyes. They have been itching like crazy for the past week or so. I'm a little worried, is this normal? I tried Googling the issue and a lot of people said it has something to do with dry eye, but is it normal for it to be so severe? I've never had a problem like this before LASIK.

Itchiness could be a sign of some kind of allergy.... Could it be some kind of seasonal allergies? Or are you using a different kind of eyedrop that you might be allergic to?

Re: I had LASIK 5 days ago... HELP!

That was my first thought. I even took allergy pills to see if they would help, but I can't be sure because the itch goes away in like 15 minutes when I stop rubbing them anyway. It's just that if I even accidentally touch the inner corner of my eyes, they itch like crazy and I can't resist rubbing them. The only eye drops I'm using now are the lubricating ones, and I tried a different brand but it's still the same. So I'm absolutely clueless as to what it could be. Maybe allergies or an allergic reaction to something, maybe just a symptom of dryness.

Have you asked your doctor about the itchiness?

I'm out of town at the moment, and I'm going to be away for a few months unfortunately, so all I can do is call him. Thanks for your help! =)

Unhappy Third day of LASIK

I honestly have no clue if anyone even reads this thread anymore, hope so! I just had the surgery done, so far the results are not good at all. My vision is practically the same as before. Immg, how long was your vision blurry for? The current blurriness I'm experiencing is severe and I can't even work. I'm having a hunch that even at seven days I'll have the same amount of blurriness. I'm using the two medications I was prescribed, anti inflammatory and antibiotic drops along with artificial tears. How long does severe blurriness tend to last? Also I'm only 19, so if I truly did have a negative outcome, there goes my life.
