I had Lasik eye surgery on October 2016. I was seeing 20/15 on right eye and 20/20 on left. My last f/u with surgeon was in February2017 and vision was still great. I went for my yearly checkup on March 2018 and noticed that my right eye is still seeing 20/20 but my left eye is 20/60. I had not noticed since right eye dominant. Has anybody heard of post-Lasix ectasia? I have always had burning and irritated eyes and have rubbed my eyes which is what the surgeon is telling me affected my vision.
