I Had my LASEK on 11-06-13. Is It Safe to Go for Offshore Duty? Still Have Slight Blurry Vision and Itchy Feeling in my Eye.

Asked By:RAJEEVNP

I get a feeling of something in my eye if I concentrate on a point for few moments. Although my vision has become 6/6 in eye test, but I'm not able to read the objects clearly which are at a distance. I get an itchy sensation near my eyes atleast 4-5 times a day after lasek. IS it normal.

First of all, you and all the readers need to be clear that epiLASEK is noncutting, and IntraLase is cutting. many offices market IntraLase as "bladeless" which i suspect is a semi-intentional way to "confuse the public" and think that IntraLase is non-cutting, which is not...
