Redness and blurry vision are not uncommon at 2 weeks post LASIK

Cary M. Silverman, MD answers: Redness and blurred vision after Lasik eye surgery

I had Lasik Eye Surgery done around two weeks ago, and I've been really worried about the amount of redness in my right eye. I have perfect vision on my right eye, but my left eye is really hazy and doesn't seem to be getting any better. I went to see a specialist and he said that my left eye is just taking time to heal, and the redness is fine. Is this normal, and will it be okay soon?

Redness and blurry vision are not uncommon at 2 weeks post LASIK and should improve over the next few weeks. If problems persists, make sure to bring this to the attention of your surgeon.
