Englewood LASIK doctors

Two weeks is not a long time after LASIK and your vision may not be fully corrected at night during the healing period.  Although many patients see well day and night within days of LASIK, some people take longer.  This may be because you have large pupils, you may have "nightime myopia" where your vision is not fully corrected at night, or it may be from other causes.  You should be patient for 3 months but be sure to check with your doctor and have them be sure that nothing is wrong.

LASIK requires making a corneal flap and although it can be performed in small superficial scars, and long standing scars, the type you describe may make it a better option to consider PRK or surface treatment even if the scar is not directly over your pupil.  Of course, this depends on the size, depth, healing, and other factors that can only be made by your LASIK surgeon.  Pseudomonas is a very virulent infections and can create significant damage, which is why I am leaning in this direction.  You may also get some extra reactivation and need to have longer steroids post operatively.

There are only two ways to laser the cornea to restore vison, either it is done on the surface with removing the epithelial cover (PRK) or that layer is preserved and covers the eye after the treatment (LASEK) but in fact the layer does not survive and essentially LASEK is PRK.  So to answer your question compare PRK to LASIK.  There are potential issues with LASIK and the flap, but modern all laser methods have reduced these risks.  PRK requires a longer, more painful healing process and many times the off label use of medications to control healing such as Mitomycin-C.

Most laser centers perform both procedures and choose the procedure that is best for an individual patient.  You should explore both options with your doctor.  Currently LASIK is much more frequently performed than PRK.
