I have blurriness in an eye that didn't even get Lasik fully completely- it had the suction and IntraLase done three times in a row and my Dr. could not get the flap up. It was so painful for four days afterwards, and now continues to be blurry. i will see him tomorrow and want to know how to approach the discussion with him well-versed in why this is not healing normally. (or is 6 days normal to still have this blurriness for a non-Lasiked eye that may have just experienced corneal abrasion from the glass that gets pressed against the eyeball? Would that in itself cause epithelium growth?

Thank you.

Blurriness at this stage is probably normal, however you need to discuss the situation with your doctor in detail so you understand exactly what happened, why it happened, and what is planned for the future. What you describe does not exactly make sense, but I’m sure with a few more facts to fill in the blanks we can better advise.
