I had PRK surgery 7 days ago, I went to my second follow up appt. yesterday and the doctor took out the contact bandage, he said there was epithelium left around the eye and I was going to feel like a had dirt in my eye which I did, my eye got very watery and burning like sensation. He put the contact back on and said to leave it for two more days. I am still using the steroid drops and today they started to hurt my eye when I apply them. I feels like something is stabbing my eye.
I've been using Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops. After a week and two of those bottles as I used them nearly every 15 minutes and I'm still experiencing blurriness so I reached out to a friend. I showed them what I was using and they mentioned that they should be preservative free. I'm wondering if I did any damaged or caused any harm to my eyes after using eye drops for a whole week that were not preservative free even though I did follow the instructions with all the other drops precisely.
One week after optimized PRK OU for myopia with astigmatism (OD -3.75, -1 x010, OS -2.5, -0.25 x170) with Alcon Wavelight Ex500 settings at -3.6-0.77x 010 , -2.39-0.25 x170. Nearsighted since w severe ghosting. autorefracted (+0.25, -0.75) (+0.25, -2). The OD @ post op said healing besides trace SPK OU and didn't mention seeing corneal haze, scar, edema on slit lamp. So why am I overcorrected and is it permanent? finished 1 week course of Ofloxacin.doing 1 mo tapered prednisolone, art tears.
1 month post op. 4 times a day corticosteroid and nsaid eyedrops. eye lubricant every 2 hours. oral vitamin c only one week post op. my vision in a reading a text distance is at its best before the bandage contact lenses were removed (done 1 week post-op). three weeks after that, my reading vision is not as good. can you recommend tips to speed up the clearing of my corneal haze?
A week after PRK surgery, I had a corneal abrasion when removing the bandage contacts in my non-dominant eye. It was not in the line of sight, has healed, is recovering, but is still nowhere near as sharp as the non-injured eye. It has been approximately 3-4 weeks total since the surgery. Regarding the eye in question,(which is improving but still blurry) how long before the blurriness leaves and will it recover well/clear? Anything I may do to help it's progress?
Had PRK a week ago and got the bandage contacts taken out 2 days ago. Doctor said eyes are healing fine but still has some small hazing which will eventually go away. Got woken up at 4am this morning feeling like theres something in my eye, very teary and difficult to open. Now it seems like my left eye is more blurry (it was initially clearer than right), and it still randomly has that stinging sensation and back to being light sensitive. Is this normal healing process? What should I do?
I did PRK about a week ago, the day of prk i felt good cuz i was able to see more but i didn't have any pain after 2 hours later only on my right eye. It felt as if something was stinging me. On my left eye i had no pain, only sensitive to the light just as the right one as well. On monday i went to see my doctor and she said i was putting all my drops good how i am supposed too. right now im about 20/40 (left/right) is that normala? will my right eye get much better?..
