Does anyone who has had lasik done on their eyes have any long lasting problems?
I had lasik done 8 months ago and then a retouch on my left eye done 5 months ago. I didn’t like the original monovision and had my left eye redone – it was under corrected. Also, my eyes are still very dry even though I use Restasis and Systane. My doctor told me that my left eye will probably be 20/20 after six months, then he told me that it was under corrected. I am so upset and wonder if anyone has this similar problem. He also said that I could redo the left eye again but I am not willing to take a third chance.
Laser is used to change the shape of the cornea in front of the eye, so that the patient can see properly. Not all patients attain perfect vision, you may still need contact lenses or glasses. More detail at http://eye-care.in/lasikeyesurgery.html
I had it done.. it is now 6 years after.. my eyesight is somewhat blurry for long distance.. However it is still better than it was prior to surgery.. I wish I had gone back for the corrections.. but I was travelling..With regards to dryness.. that is normal for that time period.. try increasing your water intake..it will help.
