I am 7 weeks postop lasik on both eyes. Left eye has been great one week postop. Absolutley no problems. However, right eye has been blurry w/ all the possible night time vision problems. The condition has improved slightly and I can see better from the top of my right eye than the bottom . Will this condition improve to the bottom part too or is this permanent now .Considering that I am a denist now I think I should never have gone ahead with this. Please help.
You should not just "hope" for improvement. Your doctor should peform a careful evaluation to figure out what is causing
your visual disturbance. Do you have irregular astigmatism? Do you have abnormalities of the cornea that can be picked up
by corneal topography? Does your vision improve with refraction? Do you have untreated dry eyes that are affecting your
vision.
There are generally no mysteries as to why a patient has visual problems after LASIK. Your surgeon should be able to figure
out the cause of your visual problem.
Best of luck
