I had LASIK surgery about 3 weeks ago. My eyes started getting really itchy these past two days.

Question

I failed to apply the tear eyedrops like instructed but have now been applying them constantly. Should I go in to get checked or give it some more time to see if the itchiness goes away?

Andrew Caster, MD · Answer

Your eyes may feel itchy due to dryness, which is very common at this stage of healing. Also, it may be due to allergies, which are very common this time of year. Alaway is an inexpensive over-the-counter anti-histamine drop for allergies. Seeing your doctor might be a good idea.
