Overcorrected eye 1 week after LASIK, will it regress?

kiah1984Sep 12, 2018
I had my Lasik surgery 8 days ago. My prescription was Left Eye -8 and Right Eye -7.25. At my 1 week check up my right eye is plano, but my left eye is +1.00. Is this likely to regress as time goes on? As I'm having trouble at work (I'm a graphic designer) with one eye blurry.

There are lots of treatments for dry eye but in post LASIK patients unfrozen autologous serum, in my experience, gets people to recover the fastest.See your surgeon soon.

If you are not experiencing any pain, blur, watery eyes, or light sensitivity, most likely, your flaps are intact. However, if you have any trauma to the eye, it is best to return to your doctor for an evaluation to ensure that the flaps are not moved.

For hyperopic laser vision people do tend to over correct. One is because it accounts for regression of effect and two, because people tend to want more near as they age.It's always a good idea to demo monovision in contacts before doing any procedure. Some people just don't like monovision.
