I had lasik surgery in Oct. and found out I was pregnant in January. My vision has decompensated since I became pregnant. I heard that Lasik is permanent, therefor, will my eyesight return to pre pregnancy sight after I give birth?

Lasik or not, some women experience a prescription change during pregnancy and nursing. In some women, their prescription returns and some don't return to their pre-pregnancy state. If your prescription change is permanent, you can consider an enhancement down the road.

It is impossible to tell whether you have regression of your Lasik from the pregnancy or if you vision has changed simply due to hormonal changes. If the change is permanant, you may be able to have an enhancement after pregnancy an the end of nursing.
