Jay Bansal, MD · Answer

It is normal for the vision to fluctuate, especially upon waking, one week after LASIK. This is can indicate some dryness, which is very common.

Andrew Caster, MD · Answer

It is very common to have fluctuation -- when the vision is sometimes good and sometimes not so good -- for up to three months after Lasik. This is typically due to intermittent dryness, especially after a nap!

Ahad Mahootchi, MD · Answer

Waking up with a short period of blurry vision is common the first few days after LASIK. It should clear after a few minutes or after use of artificial tears. If the problem persists, see your surgeon.
