I had Intralase Lasik on both eyes Jan 20, 2006. My left eye went well, right eye doctor seemed to have trouble with flap, worked on it quite a while then put contact lens bandage, went back next day and doctor took out contact lens, immediately vision was blurry and eye bothered me. He ask me to come back in 10 days. That was today. Doctor said edge of flap not laying down properly and wants surgeon to refloat my flap tomorrow morning. It is my understanding from these boards that this is a problem that should be fixed as soon as possible after surgery. Has it been too long to successfully correct this problem? Also, what questions should i ask the surgeon tomorrow? Also does that mean that they actually have to re-cut my flap with the laser? Any help appreciated.
