LASIK

Some patients heal quicker than others. What you have specified is not uncommon. Do you know if you had Lasik or Lasek? The Lasek procedure takes a longer amount of time to heal because no flap would have been created. It would be best to go in for an appointment with your doctor if the problem continues.

Blurry vision after LASIK. Is this normal?

No, it is not safe to have Laser Surgery during pregnancy. You would have to wait until after you finish nursing to schedule your procedure.&nbsp;

As ophthalmic surgeon,,, it is safe to do laser during pregnancy??

Laser Eye Surgery

I would recommend going in for a second opinion. It would be better to find out if you would be a good candidate for an enhancement to your procedure, or to at least find out other options. Enhancement is sometimes needed following the original surgery, so it would be best to talk to either your doctor, or ask a new practice. &nbsp;

Still cannot see far away after LASIK surgery. Should I go somewhere else for a second opinion?

Eyesight typically stabilizes at 18 years old. It is best to wait for laser surgery until your daughter is at least 18, to make sure she would most likely not need further enhancement years later.&nbsp;

When age does eyesight stabilize?

Some patients expereince their full results sooner than others. Most patients experience the full effect of their surgery within 1 week, some have further delay. If after this week you still are experiencing blurred vision, I would recommend you follow up with your doctor.&nbsp;

I had eye laser surgery 4 days ago and I still have blurred vision seeing far. Is that normal?

Are you noticing this more at night? Most patients will notice this at night in the first few weeks after the procedure. If you have been told before the laser procedure that you are more at risk for it than others, this may last longer. There are some things that can be done to help in the meantime. This includes some eyedrops to use in the evening. Inquire with your doctor as every situation is different.

Rainbows around nearby Light after Femto based blade free LASIK surgery. Is it normal?

Great to hear you are happy with your procedure. I would not worry about the effects of the procedure long-term. Most patients have stable vision after turning 18. If your doctor told you your vision had been stable for 6 years, you were an excellent candidate to have the procedure. Enjoy the outcome, and if you notice any changes in the future you can talk to your surgeon about having an enhancement to the procedure.&nbsp;

Should I be worried about LASIK relapse?

Some patients take longer than others to heal, so your situation is not uncommon. I would recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to be sure. You may consider having an enhancement to the procedure if the blurred vision continues.&nbsp;

I have a slight blur in right eye after lasik. Should I be worried?

It is not unexpected for some people to heal slower than expected, which is not a cause of concern. It will ultimately get there. It is better to ask your surgeon so they can assess your individual situation.

Blurry vision with left eye after LASIK operation

18 is the youngest age we recommend for a patient to have Lasik. Your vision does not fully stabilize until then, so it is better to wait in order to lessen the chance you would need to have the procedure adjusted in the future.&nbsp;

Is 16 years old too young to do LASIK surgery?
