Will having LASIK eye surgery reduce eye bulge from myopia?

June 10, 2017
Asked By:he319 in Vancouver, BC

I have myopia for both eyes -6.00D on both eyes. I have noticed that when I was a child, my eyes were not bulging (I did not need glasses). However, after wearing glasses for 10 years, I have protruding eyes. If I got LASIK eye surgery to help with my myopia, will it be able to fix this problem?

No clear vision after 1 month of Lasik. Used Vigamox and fml drops for 1month.
Andrew Caster, MD says:

Antibiotic drops are seldom useful after one week or so. They can irritate the eyes, causing decreased vision. This decrease in vision is only temporary and will go away after the drop is stopped and the eye can heal up.

Can drinking alcohol affect LASIK outcome? I had LASIK 11 days ago.
Andrew Caster, MD says:

You do not have to worry: drinking alcohol did not affect your final result. It may have caused a little dryness, which can take awhile to go away. Make sure to take omega-3 fish oil pills, 3 pills per day, to help with the dryness.
