I had lasik surgery yesterday, i went to the doctor today for my day after visit. My left eye is 20/20. my right eye is where i have my question. its 20/40. I was wondering if this eye will catch up with the other as i heal? i asked the doctor. he said it should, but in the same breath he said hed be happy if this is the best ill ever see. This kinda troubled me… thanks for your time.
Lasik is often more of a six month process than a 20 Minute Miracle. Your eyes have just had microsurgery. They are healing. It is reasonable to expect some fluctuation in vision quality, etc., even differences with your own two eyes.http://www.usaeyes.org/lasik/faq/lasik.h…
It is very early in the process and your problems may resolve with healing. There are several patients on our organization’s bulletin board that had similar initial response that eventually resolved. You may want to read their posts and compare notes.http://www.usaeyes.org/ask-lasik-expert/
Don’t expect too much that soon. Lasik is not a miracle procedure. The eyes may need a few weeks to completely recover. If you are seeing well after a month, you may still have a residual uncorrect refractive error. LASIK is not 100% accurate. Be happy if you can do most activities without glasses.
