I had an enhancement in feb 2002. I had ingrowth and a lift in April 2002. It took 12 weeks to see clearly and still not clear. Doctor told me I had 20/35 vision and the eye looked good. Decided to try glasses but they gave me wrong prescription. Got worried so went to another doctor. She said that my eyesight is 20/300 in enhanced lifted eye. there are flap folds and wrinkles, cell growth, debris under the flap, swollen areas around the flap, extensive haze, and now an oblique astigmatism of right enhanced eye that reads OD +100 -150 O43 OS +100 -075 160. She said the eye is a mess and recommended seeing another surgeon. Can my eye be repaired? she said glasses may never work for me. I am scared. Please help!

You need to get a second opinion with a LASIK expert immediately. You can consider seeing someone like Dr. Updegraff or another surgeon.

Please keep us posted, and we are happy to answer further questions.

Best of luck
