Overcorrection (10 weeks) post LASIK.
I am in 10th week post bladeless LASIK surgery. From 1st week, I had been facing some trouble in my left eye vision. I could not concentrate on work for a good time since I was not able to see clearly overall. On 50th day follow-up check up, I described it all, the doctor says you are completely fine. He did the topography test, but did not give the report even when I asked for it. Other test showed my left eye, Spherical: +0.5 and CYL: 50. I straight went to optician, got eye tested with machine and manually and got a pair of glasses made. Now with glasses, my vision is fine. Without glasses, neither I am able to read on my phone, computer, newspaper comfortably, nor things at far. Only during outdoor and during daylight I am comfortable without glasses. During night time, without glasses, red tail lights of cars look poor, and if I close my right eye, they are badly distorted to my left eye. I cannot drive w/o glasses at night. Did I waste 80k for a poorer vision quality, + glasses?

Please don't get disheartened. It's likely to be ok within next 2to 3wks. As per your statement it seems to be overreacted. And over a period of time ,if regression occurs then you will be comfortable. As for now you can use specs.

We understand that you are having visual discomfort for near which is due the residual plus power that you have described. You have been a myopic all through your life meaning to say that you never had to use your eye power of accommodation to see near objects. Now that your myopia is eliminated and a very minor hypermetropia is present u are required to use your natural power of accommodation to see near objects just like everyone else. I’m sure u will become better as time goes as your eyes will learn how to use the accommodation muscles
