I had PRK done 5 weeks ago . I had -6.25 of myopia and some astigmatism. Upon my first month check up since my vision was still very blurry my doctor prescribed a new par of RX glass to use while my eyes heal. Of course I can see 10 times better when wear the glasses. My main concern is : 1 # Will the glasses compromise my healing process and 2# My vision seems worse when I remove them glasses .
Hello I did a prk surgery befor 7 weeks. So far, there has been no improvement in vision at all, except for an hour in the morning after a night's sleep when I see a sharp ,and after an hour it disappears and blurs. The numbers were 5.75 in each eye and a cylinder of 0.75 the eyes now are healthy, In the examination of the optometrist, a cylinder was found in each eye at a height of 2-1.75. Is it possible that this cylinder will disappear? Attached is postoperative examination
I was told I would still need my reading glasses after surgery (I'm 48). So, I expected my near vision post PRK to be compromised to the same degree it was by contact lenses, but it's far worse. I can't even bring the food on my plate into focus without my readers, and that was definitely not the case before PRK. Since my distance vision is nearly perfect after six weeks, does that mean my healing process is effectively over? What are the odds of my near vision markedly improving at this point?
I had PRK 6 weeks ago and my vision is still not clear. I am seeing about 20/40 on an eye chart but the blurriness comes and goes throughout the day. I can see well in daylight almost as well as with glasses, but in low light i am still not seeing well. Does this seem normal? From what I read, most people are seeing 20/20 after the first month. My doctor said it could take another 6 weeks and said my eyes are dry. I am completely discouraged.
Hello Dr. I had PRK surgery 6 weeks ago and still continue to have double vision. My previous RX was -6.50 with -1.25 astigmatism (R) and -5.50 with -0.50 astigmatism (L). So far, my distance vision is excellent in daylight but indoors I notice significant double vision and an almost 30% drop in clarity. I am on Restasis, Fish oil, Vit C, and Refresh Optive PF and I am very consistent with use. I finished the prednisone eye drops at week 5. Will my double vision continue to improve? Thanks.
Hi, I had PRK laser eye surgery and it has been 6 weeks. My vision is great but my only concern is after working on the computer for few hours I get pain behind my eyes and forehead sought of like eye strain. Never experienced this pain when I had glasses. Prescription was -6.25 in both eyes. Is this common after PRK surgery that will get better in time? Please advise. Thanks
Hi I had Wavefront PRK done about 6 1/2 weeks ago. I'm still on steroid drops 2 times a day. What I'm concerned with is, I have perfect vision when I wake up in the morning, but vision gets worse and I get double vision after about 1 hour of waking. Then vision continuously gets worse ghosting throughout the day. Is this normal? Why do I have perfect vision in the morning but get bad vision? Also, I'm also an Asian. My eyelids are thick. Can the eyelids play part in making vision worse?
