Extreme light sensitivity 6 months after Lasik.

Question

I had lasik surgery done 6 months ago both eyes. Three months after surgery I was unable to watch tv, use computer , cell phone , read book or drive. According to Doctors my eyes look normal. If I go in light or read it is very painfull. I am in dark room all the time. My doctor has advised me to use the serum drops . It has been a month using the serum drops but I do not see any significant improvement. I am taking lyrica twice a day . Please help me.

Unless we know exactly what your examination shows, it is impossible to say why you are having light sensitivity. It is exceedingly rare to have light sensitivity for more than a few days after Lasik. If the light sensitivity only began 3 months after the treatment then I would guess that it has nothing to do with the treatment. If it began immediately and was not present prior to the treatment, then it is clearly related.
