I am one month post-LADAR lasik surgery and have been told by my physician, my corneas have dry spots and because of that i am experiencing terrible light sensitivity and my eyes are having trouble focusing. driving is very difficult, my eyes get very heavy and will not stay open (i feel like i have lazy eyes)... is this normal? i have tried to research this, but all i read about it halos and not seeing well in the dark. I am just the opposite.

has anyone else experienced this?

Dry eyes after LASIK are not uncommon. You should work carefully and closely with your surgeon over the next few weeks to get this squared away. Treatments may include artificial tears, punctal plugs, and many other modalities.

Best of luck
