25 days Post-op Lasik. Is it normal to have pain behind the eye?

Question

I had lasik surgery plus cross linking done 25 days ago. OD: -12.00 OS: -11.00. After surgery results were: OD: 20/25. OS: 20/25. OU: 20/20. My concern now is I have dull pain behind my right eye. And I have a constant headache on my right side of the head. My right eye feels drier than my left. I also feel nauseous at times. I feel some discomfort on my right eye as well.

The symptoms you describe aren't typical at all for the post operative course of LASIK.See your surgeon to be sure but you need to get those symptoms evaluated. LASIK doesn't prevent you from having other issues like glaucoma, orbital inflammation or many of the common conditions ophthalmologists see each day.
