I had lasik done 7 weeks ago and now have 3 or 4 striae directly across my left pupil. My opthomologist tells me to wait. I feel discomfort and see at least 2 more, transparent but distinct images, of the original image. The striae runs vertical and light seems to be deflected horizontally in the manner a prism might. This seems to cause colors to blend and detail to become hazy. I feel I should not wait any longer and simply have them removed. Can you please offer your opinion?

Thank you,
Eli

Striae which are causing significant symptoms
should be removed and earlier is better.
