Blurry and Fluctuating Vision One Week After Lasik

It sounds like you may be a bit under-corrected. Please make sure to discuss your concerns with your doctor.

Although it has only been one week since your procedure, most patients have fairly good distance vision at this point and you should go back to your eye surgeon for an evaluation.  Your prescription, while significant, is fairly commonly treated with LASIK and is not a very high prescription.  I suspect that you may have some dry eye or other cause for the blurry vision that needs attention.

It is not uncommon to have mild to moderate fluctuation in vision(better at one time of the day than another) for the first one to two weeks following Laser Vision Correction. This is typically a result of corneal swelling and will go away with a combination of time and continuing the postoperative eyedrops. You should be seeing tyour surgeon for a scheduled postop visit by week 2 or 3 so this can be discussed then. Any corneal dryness(more common in the winter months, and, again, temporary) can be measured and treated by your doctor.
