Is irritation and dryness fine after three years post LASIK surgery?

August 3, 2018
Asked By:dyutideb in Bangalore, IN

I have done LASIK in 2015, April and it was fine since I haven't faced any issues so far but now I am feeling little irritation in my both eyes however my doctor prescribed Trehalube eye drops ( four times in a day and Eyemist Gel for the night). Is little irritation fine? Whether the prescribed medicines are good for my eyes or not.

The rapidity of the vision change means you need to find the cause before treating it.They need to dilate your eye and make sure you dont' have a cataract.They need a topography or other test to make sure your cornea isn't progressively getting thinner or steeper unexpectedly.

See your ophthalmologist.It may not need any surgery at all.If it's growing or changing that's a different situation.Removing them for cosmetic purposes would be easy but has risk and in some places controversial.

2 days post op LASIK, and although my vision seems to be getting better I do have blurriness in both eyes.
Brad Kligman, MD says:

It is very normal to have some blurriness and fluctuations in your vision following LASIK, particularly in the first week. Just make sure to use the post-operative medicated drops as directed and artificial tears when you need them. By 1 week the vision should be significantly better and more...
