It's only been 2 weeks since LASIK. I have been so careful but last night, I rubbed my right eye while I was half asleep. I woke up straight away and panicked. It was a pretty good rub you would do on a normal unoperated eye. I haven't experienced any changes with my vision tho. I called the clinic and was told it Should be ok if I hadn't experienced blur vision. My next check up is in 2 weeks, and I am very worried that I might wrinkled the flap.
I rubbed my eyes while I was still mostly asleep and now my vision is still clear but I feel slight pressure in the eye. I can't go into the doctor because they are closed until Monday. Is there anyway that I can know if I should be worried and how long do I have to get it fixed if I did mess it up?
My right eye has seemed dryer than my left, and I forgot to put drops in before before bed the night I rubbed my eye for the first time since surgery. I put drops in immediately after waking up. The eye feels sore.
Had lasik done two days ago, while I was sleeping I may have rubbed my eyes after I woke up the next morning my vision in my left eye seemed to be more blurry then it was the day before. I dont feel any pain in my eyes but worried I may have messed something up. My vision was horrible post surgery (20/400) and I suffered from nearsightedness as well as astigmatism, is this common or something I should be concerned about? Would the pain be noticeable if I dislocated a flap?
80 hours day 3: I do not have blurred vision and redness of the eye. But just feeling abit weird or itchy like some nerve slight twitching on the right eye lid. Dunno it is cause by psychological anot. Can slight wrinkle or dislodge of the flap be happen even though I do not experience any blurred vision? Will it affect my healing and the eye power in the future?
If eye shields are to be worn for approximately 1 week after LASIK in order to protect from rubbing of the eyes, why do directions say no rubbing eyes for at least 4 weeks? What happens if someone accidentally rubs their eyes in the middle of sleeping say on day 10, or even 21? Shouldn't the shields be worn for the full 4 weeks?
I had my surgery Thursday morning and was given protective sleep goggles..I have been so very carefull yet early hours this morning (Sunday) I woke myself up rubbing my eyes..I had in my sleep pushed my goggles up my head. I replaced them and went back to sleep but when I woke up a few hours later I looked in the mirror and saw lots of eyelashes on my face so I must have rubbed pretty hard...My vision seems a little blurry and my eyes feel sore. It's Sunday and the optitions are closed.
