1.5 years after lasik, constant fluctuation.

I was over corrected one and a half years ago, so I got glasses to
help me see before I get an enhancement. Sometimes my
glasses help and I see well, other times they don’t help at all and
make my sight worse.

I understand fluctuations are not uncommon, but I though after
a year and half there would be some stability.

Any suggestions?

Do you have dry eyes? That can be a cause of visual fluctiation. Typically patients are stable after a time - but dry eyes could be a cause of visual fluctuation.

Best of luck

I was told I have dry eyes so I started using Ristasis. At my last
checkup the dry eye problem had gone away. I do not feel dry
eyes except in the morning. My doctor told me to put a hot
compress on my eyes, which I do in the morning.

I’m contemplating an enhancement but with the fluctuation, I’m
a little worried.

Thanks for the help.

It sounds like your dry eye is improving - but the fluctuating vision is of concern. You should work with your doctor to first improve your dry eye - and then once the flucation has improved and the dry eye has improved - you can talk with your doctor about whether an enhancement is needed.

Best results.
