Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Blurry vision after LASIK. Is this normal?
Lasik Recovery
Oct 29, 2015
Some patients heal quicker than others. What you have specified is not uncommon. Do you know if you had Lasik or Lasek? The Lasek procedure takes a longer amount of time to heal because no flap would have been created. It would be best to go in for an appointment with your doctor if the problem continues.
As ophthalmic surgeon,,, it is safe to do laser during pregnancy??
Laser Surgery
Oct 29, 2015
No, it is not safe to have Laser Surgery during pregnancy. You would have to wait until after you finish nursing to schedule your procedure.
Still cannot see far away after LASIK surgery. Should I go somewhere else for a second opinion?
Second Opinion
Oct 26, 2015
I would recommend going in for a second opinion. It would be better to find out if you would be a good candidate for an enhancement to your procedure, or to at least find out other options. Enhancement is sometimes needed following the original surgery, so it would be best to talk to either your doctor, or ask a new practice.
When age does eyesight stabilize?
Eyesight Stabilization
Oct 26, 2015
Eyesight typically stabilizes at 18 years old. It is best to wait for laser surgery until your daughter is at least 18, to make sure she would most likely not need further enhancement years later.
I had eye laser surgery 4 days ago and I still have blurred vision seeing far. Is that normal?
Laser Surgery
Oct 26, 2015
Some patients expereince their full results sooner than others. Most patients experience the full effect of their surgery within 1 week, some have further delay. If after this week you still are experiencing blurred vision, I would recommend you follow up with your doctor.
Rainbows around nearby Light after Femto based blade free LASIK surgery. Is it normal?
Light
Oct 26, 2015
Are you noticing this more at night? Most patients will notice this at night in the first few weeks after the procedure. If you have been told before the laser procedure that you are more at risk for it than others, this may last longer. There are some things that can be done to help in the meantime. This includes some eyedrops to use in the evening. Inquire with your doctor as every situation is different.
Should I be worried about LASIK relapse?
Lasik Relapse
Oct 26, 2015
Great to hear you are happy with your procedure. I would not worry about the effects of the procedure long-term. Most patients have stable vision after turning 18. If your doctor told you your vision had been stable for 6 years, you were an excellent candidate to have the procedure. Enjoy the outcome, and if you notice any changes in the future you can talk to your surgeon about having an enhancement to the procedure.
