Saw my surgeon at 1 week.He saw blood cells behind flap, offered to flush them out.I asked if its possible for cells to dissolve on their own, he said yes but might take longer.He suggested using steroid twice daily for 1 week.I later learned online that I might have DLK or Epithelial Growth.If he thought its DLK, why didnt he prescribe aggressive steroid treatment?If he thought it was ingrowth why didnt he insist to irrigate? Worried that while I wait there is more damage done to my eyes. HELP

The quality of your scans is not good so i can't really interpret them well over the internetbut in general, whenever someone says "you can't get LASIK" you must realize that there is a 90% chance that you can get PRK (which will HURT) or LASEK (which will not, but take 2-3 days more to recover...
This is why years after LASIK you can get poked in the eye and the flap can come back upevery LASIK surgeon who has seen over 10,000 cases has seen at least one flap ripped off by trauma:)if you play contact sports and are concerned about this then just get LASEK, the recovery is 1-2 days longer...
I would highly recommend that you see an eye specialist. There are many different things that could be causing the blurry vision, and some of these do much better if treated early.If your vision issue is due to a focusing problem, then a repeat Lasik would probably fix the problem.
