Blurry Vision 2 days after Wavefront Lasik Surgery. Will this improve?

Question

I had wavefront custom lasix surgery 2 days ago and im seeing things blurry especially in my left eye. Its worse at night and my vision is not crisp at all like I thought it would be. I starting to get really nervous that something went wrong and my vision will not improve. I was nearsighted. My eyes werent that bad I think -.75 in both and im starting to think I made a huge mistake and spent the money. They did have to place a contact bandage to left eye but took that out the next daym

Two days post-LASIK it is entirely normal for your vision to
fluctuate, and for your night vision to be less than perfect.  The first week can be filled with
significant changes, and it will take up to three months for your vision to
completely stabilize.

Martin L. Fox, MD · Answer

At just two days out I wouldn't worry as there are many factors that can influence post operative acuity within the first few days, i.e., dryness, inflammation, tissue swelling, etc. It sounds as if you might have had a corneal abrasion in one of your eyes that required placement of a bandage contact lens. This too could be contributing to your level of visual acuity. Keep your post op appointments, use your drops and everything should be fine.
