Corneal Edema 10 days after LASIK. Is this normal or something I should be worried about?

Asked By:postlasik84 in Torrance, CA

Hi, I had Lasik done 10 days ago and driving at night and low light areas have been terrible but slowly getting better, still not to the point where I should be driving myself. During the day my vision has been good for the most part. I went for a 1 week follow up and my optometrist said I still have a significant amount of inflammation and corneal edema in the left eye and wants me to follow up with the center where I got my surgery done.
