Visited the doctor today, fri. 1-07,6 weeks post lasik, said vision is now at 20/30, also did topography scan of left eye, was all same color in center portion of eye, believe this is good, however, still 20/30, gradually improving since operation. Dr. is now dead set against relifting the flap. I think this is good, however, does topography scan mean anything in regards to wrinkles? Flap was lifted day after surgery to remove wrinkles. Any help on signifigance of topography scan would be very helpful.

The topography will show wrinkles as irregular astigmatism. All one color probably means that you do not have this which is good. Hang in there as 20/30 is acceptable vision at this point and may still improve with time.Lifting the flap early was the right thing to do and waiting now is also the right thing.
