I had lasik about 5 weeks ago. My vision is great,no dryness, no irritation. I do see "halo's" at night but everything else was perfect. Since the procedure I have had double-vision and dizziness, plus very heavy eyelids that feel like muscles "tugging" (not twitching) like when you'd desperately need sleep. I look tired because I can't open my eyes all the way. However, I have to add that I have some neck stenosis and bulging disc. I am seeing a neck surgeon next week and I don't want to mislead him with symptoms that could be connected to the lasik. I feel it's in my neck but want to be sure. Could my eye-problems be lasik related?
it is so difficult to know. You should certainly see your LASIK surgeon, who will be able to determine if there is any relationship. The surgeon will be able toe valuate the cause of your double vision and refer you to the appropriate doctor.
I hope this is helpful
