LASIK

PRK Laser Eye Surgery

Not all artificial tears are created equal.&nbsp; The preservative is only one component of the artificial tears.&nbsp; While using preservatives too often may be damaging to the ocular surface, some of the modern preservatives are relatively mild.&nbsp; Ultimately, your doctor should have a recommendation of&nbsp;which artificial tears would be best for you.&nbsp; They can titrate their recommendation based on their findings of your ocular surface.

My Doctor prescribed artificial tears for me after the lasik surgery but it has preservative in it? while I've seen many online articles about using none preservative? I've been using the one with preservative for 17 days now? is that bad? &amp; can I shift now?

Should I use Preservative or No Preservative tears after LASIK?

Stability is an important thing to establish prior to doing refractive surgery.&nbsp; This depends on a number of factors including your age, your refraction, and other associated findings. &nbsp; For the FDA trials, a change of less than 0.50 diopters over the course of a year was considered stable.&nbsp; Sometimes previous refractions and/or glasses may be helpful to establish long term stability.&nbsp; Also, bear in mind that changes of 0.25 diopters fall within the range of normal fluctuation.

Is my vision still considered 'stable', or should I hold off from having Lasik until there have been no further changes for at least 1 year? As i am getting married, I so want to do lasik this year only.one more thing, If i have -2 eye number then doctor will be correcting this particular number only or he does not require my number at the time of surgery since it will be corrected automatically whatever no. i have.

Am I candidate for Lasik? -1.75 in right eye and -1.25 for left), I've just found out that my left eye has deteriorated to-1.5

As you were told, night vision symptoms typically improve with time. However, if it has not improved after several months, you should get reevaluated by your surgeon. Frequently, treatable conditions such as residual refractive error, ocular surface problems, or&nbsp;other conditions may cause your symptoms.&nbsp; If needed, an enhancement to your primary procedure is certainly a possibility.

Hi, I had my PRK done on march 7 2016. I was told by my surgeon that it would take 3 months for the eye to develop clear vision.However, i am deeply concerned as it has been more than 6 months and i still cannot see properly during the night. For example, when i focus my eyes on a traffic light or a street light particularly , it appears to have a stretched image. I strongly believe that this is not gonna improve.Any help or a suggestion would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Halos at night 6 months after PRK , particularly at seeing the traffic and street lights. Any suggestions?

It is normal to have variations in healing after LASIK&mdash;particularly within the first few weeks. Dryness is frequently a contributor and may or may not be the sole cause of your blurry vision. In the absence of certain pathologies (e.g. flap striae or epithelial ingrowth), it’s a good idea to simply continue with artificial tears and to be patient. If residual refractive error is the issue, surgeons would typically not consider enhancement before 3 months of healing and stabilization. If you have continued concern, you should follow up sooner with the surgeon who performed your procedure.

I had Lasik (with blade) surgery 2 weeks ago. From day one I had perfect sight in my left eye but my right eye has blurry vision and doesn't improve at all. Both eyes were -4.75 before surgery with left 0,75 agtimatism and right 1,25 astigmatism. The doctor says that it looks fine, besides the dryness, and that a 20/20 vision can never be guaranteed with Lasik. It frustrates me that my sight is blurry. I know 2 weeks is recent, but it doesn't even improve a little. Is this normal? Thanks

What to do when blurry vision after LASIK doesn't seem to improve?

It&nbsp;is difficult to say because your prognosis depends on what is causing your symptoms. Even though you are reading better than 20/20, the eye chart only partly characterizes your visual experience. There are a lot of factors that come into play&mdash;some transient and some which might be improved with an enhancement. Fortunately, we now have topographers and wavefront aberrometers that can help your surgeon to determine the cause of your symptoms and to formulate possible courses of treatment. It is best to continuing seeing your surgeon to get the most out of your procedure.

I had Lasik on 7/5/16. Before I was -2.50 in both eyes. My 1 day post op my doc said I had 20/15. I just had my 1 month post op today &amp; I tried to explain to him that even though I can see 20/15 the letters are not crisp, they are blurry but I can still make out what the letters are. This is how it is when I am driving reading license plates. Even looking at someone in the same room as me does not seem to be clear. Its like there is a slight fog in the room. Will this get better with time?

I had LASIK 1 month ago and my distance vision is not clear. Will my vision become crisper the more time goes by?
