A friend asked me inquire on Cocaine and MDMA use two weeks after Intralase surgery. Would they have any significant effect on the eyes or the healing process? Also, would cannabis or alcohol. Intending to be as as safe possible during the healing period but unsure of any effects. Thank You,

Epi LASIK is really just another form of PRK. These procedures can take longer to heal and can be associated with quality of vision issues such as you are experiencing. It is much to early to blame your symptoms on the residual astigmatism that has been described. An additional month of healing...
I assume you have no refractive error (nearsightedness, farsightedness or
astigmatism), and that your night side effects are purely due to high order
aberrations (probably lots of spherical aberration) from a small optical
zone. If this is the case, your doctor
is partially correct in saying...
Most surgeons will not charge for removal
of epithelial ingrowth if it is in a patient they did the original LASIK
on. If that is not the case,
typical cost may range from $1,500 to $2,500 per eye.
