VISION RELATED QUERY
It has been 6 days since LASIK done on both of my eyes, both eyes had -8.5 power including cylinder. 1 day post op I was 6/6 in both eyes. But now it seems my vision is fluctuating. My near vision is perfectly normal, but it seems that vision with my right eye is a little blurry for distance as compared to my left eye. I have to focus hard to read far letters from my right eye. Sometimes vision gets clear but sometimes it remains blurry. I am using post op medicines regularly. Actually my right eye had a mild squint prior to surgery which still remains but was seeing 6/9 prior to surgery too. It is a residual recurrent childhood squint. Don't know if it's amblyopic or not.  One week post op follow up is due. What will they check ? All other things are fine. Actually vision seems better in natural daylight but in room light / night / dim light it seems to be a little blurry especially with right eye . I am worried. What should be my next steps? Please help. A detailed explanation please

Your right eye is partially amblyopic. Though it did improve to 6/6 immediate post op, you should be satisfied if it stays at 6/9.. fluctuations in visual quality in different lighting conditions are normal especially after lasik done for higher numbers ( above minus five).. vision will stabilize in a month or so.. increasing. Frequency of lubricating eye drops often helps. Maskatieyeclinic opposite Charni Rd station east
