I had Lasik surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. I have now got floaters in my right eye. I did not have them before the surgery.

 I noticed bright flashes of light 5 days ago and a couple of days ago noticed that I have a blurred spot in my right eye. Should I be concerned?

I am 56.

Lasik for eye colour change may not be advised as the technique and technology is still not very safe for eyes and may lead to a lot of complications. You can stop using eyelash serum and wait for some time. You can use colour contact lens to hide brown spots on the Iris.
