Why do I still have a feeling of sand in both my eyes 6 weeks post-op?

Question

It's has been 6 weeks of my Lasik. But still feeling some sand in my both the eyes & left eye improvement is not as right

Jay Bansal, MD · Answer

The 'sandy' feeling that you're experiencing is due to dry eyes. It can take months for the dryness to stabilize after LASIK. I would recommend using artificial tears at least four times a day. If the symptoms do not improve, I would recommend seeing your eye doctor.

Dry Eyes after LASIK are really common. It’s best to treat before surgery. The dry eye gets better in a few months for most but not all. If not adequately treated by unpreserved artificial tears at least 4 times a day, then I find the shortest path to recovery is unpreserved autologous serum drops twice a day for two months.
