6 days post op, my vision is changing from one day to the next. What can I do to help improve healing and stabilizing?

Question

I had LASIK monovision surgery 6 days ago. My eyesight keeps fluctuating, but seems worse each day rather than better. One day I can see up close or at a distance and the next day I can't without blurred vision. I am healing and vision is stabilizing, however is it normal for vision to be just right and then change again? I did have one follow up visit and was told everything looks good.

There are a few different reasons why your vision might be fluctuating after LASIK surgery. The most common causes are dryness and inflamation. The great news is that these are both temporary and can easily be treated with eye drops. I cannot say what is causing your fluctuation in vision without examining you, so your best course of action is to call the doctor that did your LASIK and schedule a follow-up visit. Be sure to tell the technician and the doctor your symptoms, so they can accurately assess your problem.
