Recently Had Lasik - Reading, PA

Friday, Feb 11 2011, I had Lasik surgery on both eyes. The surgery was painless and the recovery was painless.
The following day I had a follow up visit and the doc said everything was healing fine. I was not 20/20 and I had blurred vision. The rest of the weekend, there wasn't much improvement and I was non-functional thinking that I made a huge mistake.
I ended up calling the doctor in Sunday night because I was so upset,because I just needed some reassurance. He assured me that the surgery was a success and healing takes time.
Monday morning, I received a call from the doc office and his assistant explained to me that each person heals differently, and I am among the 10% that do not see immediate results, but will with time.
Today I have seen improvements and am 100% functional. My vision is clearing up for both far and near, although I am temporary wearing reading glasses until my eye completely adjust.
It was a rough weekend, but I am thinking positively that this will work out for the best.
Right now, I will have to mark my review as undecided but I have a feeling, it will be worth it.

Wasn't much improvement today. I am back to worrying. As of right now, I wish I wouldn't have had the Lasik surgery.
I did have a post-op yesterday and he continues to tell me that things are healing normally. He said time will heal.

My vision has improved since last week. Slowly, but have improved.
Still see halo's and star bursts, and eyes are still blurry, although a little less.
I have been reading articles and it appears that patience and time is what I need most right now.
I will remain optimistic for now.
Hi Golfaz,
Welcome to the Lasik community. The same situation happened to my best friend except she kind of was blind for two months, and was really worried she two made the wrong decision. Her doctor told her the same thing as your's told you about being the small percentage that it takes time on. After that two months her vision came back and after I believe 6 everything was perfect and she had 20/20 vision. So, since it sounds like you and her are very similar in the healing based on her experience I have all the faith in the world everything will turn out great for you. Please keep us posted.
Thanks so much for the review,

Keeping the faith is really all you can probably do right now, but that's a good thing :)
