LASIK recovery vs regression?

May 23, 2016
Asked By:graspr in Virginia Beach, VA

I had LASIK done 3 days ago. The day after the surgery, I went in for a follow up. The eye test said I had 20/20 vision. This morning I poked my left eye with the eye drop and since then my vision has been blurry on the left eye. I went in for an emergency appointment and the doctor said there was no damage done from the poke. But when they re-did my vision test, my left eye was 20/30. The doctor said my vision can fluctuate. Will my vision go back to 20/20? He also said my eyes are dry.
