I also have a healing time question. I just got my lasik done 3/24. After surgery, I had an excessive of mucus in my right eye so the Dr had to put a bandage contact on. He removed the bandage contact at my appt 24 hrs later. At that appt, the vision in my left eye had improved dramatically from my original -5.75 (contacts) but it was still very blurry. I could only barely read what I think was the third line from the bottom on the chart. The right eye was still very very blurry. He said the right eye would take a few days to catch up.

He was correct, now 3 days PO my right eye has caught up but neither have improved more than my left eye was at 24 hrs PO. I can still not see clearly at a distance. I'm Ok to drive in familiar areas but if I needed to read the street signs I would be in trouble. For example, I can't read the license plate numbers on a car that is only 1 car lenght in front of me.

Will this improve? If so, how long will it take? I'm worried b/c I read of people seeing 12/15 the next day. Does it take longer since I started with a -5.75 (contacts)? What can I do to help the healing along? Now I'm using systane drops about every 30 mins along with the antibiotics and steriods 4 times a day. Anything else I can do? I really bugs me not being able to see - it also gives me headaches. I try just to look at things closer up that I can see but soemtimes that is impossible.
