During my LASIK surgery, my eye bled. Instead of seeing a white light, or darkness, I saw all red blood. The doctor said the ring, or the disk (?) used were the wrong size - actually he said MY EYE was the wrong size!!!!! Is this common? I did a lot of research prior to the procedure, and didn't run into this situation. This happened five months ago, and my vision (only had one eye done) is much worse than before the procedure. He told me it would take some time to stablize. Any suggestions?

Very strange. It is so difficult to figure out what actually went on. clearly if you are having problems, you should get a second opinion. I would love to be able to make some comments, but it is very difficult to understand exactly the problem that occurred by your description. Perhaps your doctor can write down what the problem was and where you are at now.

Best of luck
