Hi,

I have my lasik done a week now, I can see 20/20 with each eye and 20/15 with both eyes the day following my lasik. Now I notice that my left eye is not as good as my right eye it is more blurry. Is this because I am in the healing stage and will my left eye vision get better later? Also, I notice that in the morning after I woke up I see clear for about two hours then my left I start to get blurry. Is this normal? thanks.

Tuan

but it sounds like the issue is dry eye. I would use the artificial tears every hour for several weeks and things should clear up

Jordan is correct that your problem sounds like it could be related to dry eyes. We have a detailed article about Lasik and Dry Eye at http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/lasik-dry-eyes.htm that may be helpful.
