WORRIED ABOUT VISUAL DIFFERENCE
5 weeks passed since having LASIK. Since then , I am noticing a visual difference between the two eyes. My pre op prescription was -4 -2.75*170° OD and -6 -2.5* 170° OS. After LASIK, one day post op I was tested 6/6 both eyes. But when I see only with my right eye , that eye seems to be blurry. Although I can see from that eye but to get a clearer vision, I has to squeeze that eye. I can see perfectly with both my eyes. One month lost op my vision in right eye was 6/9 (P), PMT was -0.25 -2.0*72°. Doctor said it was due to dry eyes, they prescribed me one more drop other than existing drop, but I think this isn't the case of dry eyes, something unusual is going on with my right eye. -2 D cylindrical power is very high. Don't know if it will get back to normal. Should I wear specs of this prescription or should I wait because I also think that this power may change rapidly. What's going on I can see clearly with both of my eyes but individually there's a difference. Please explain.
The reasons for less than perfect vision after LASIK are many including the possible need for an enhancement, dryness of the eye and flap wrinkles to mention just a few.
I assume your surgeon has seen you since these symptoms began and made certain that your flaps are not displaced and no other problems exist.
Both eyes heal differently post op Lasik and sometimes one eye will take longer to reach its full potential. However, there are also some healing problems and issues that need to be looked at by your eye doctor-- they will check to see if the flap is well positioned and if there is any unusual occurrences such as a decentration or inflammatory swelling. Most of the time the eye is just a little dry and thankfully almost everything has a 'fix' to it.
