Conjunctivitis after LASIK - 10 days post-op.

March 6, 2017
Asked By:simpleme911 in Bosnia

Hello, i had LASIK surgeon before 10 days and I know that it is common to have startburst and halo effects etc. My left eye is little bit blurry so my doctor said it is because of healing process, while my right eye was great. Now, my right eye has redness in it and it looks like conjunctivitis. Will this affect on my eye or it can be healed without any side effect ? I'm still using Tobradex and eye drops. Thanks.
