I had Visian ICL surgery on both eyes 4 months ago. 3 days ago, I had LASIK on my left eye to correct some residual astigmatism. After the LASIK procedure, my surgeon told me to keep my eyes closed as much as possible that day and mentioned something about a "loose epithelium"(?) but did not elaborate on how this would affect my recovery. When should my vision start becoming clear again? Is this something to be concerned about? My vision is worse then before Visian and it is making me nervous!
