do you know how long it will back to normal vision after lasik eye surgery?
Q. As my friend told me, it takes a long time for recovery after Lasik eye surgery
A. for me, around a month,
how long after lasik until perfect vision?
Q. I had lasik eye surgery on Wednesday and things are still a little blurry, how long until I will have perfect sight and will being on the computer affect my recovery time?
A. yup
If you have had LASIKS eye surgery done can you please tell me about your experience?
Q. How long ago did you have it done? Have you needed to wear contacts/glasses since then? How long after the surgery was your vision stable? Thanks!
A. Had it done almost two years ago.
Never needed glasses/contacts since.
Vision was stable right after surgery, but needed special eye drops and shades for a while after.
Great experience, but there are other options. It doesn't fix your eyeball, which is elongated for people with myopia, but it just "shaves" your lens so that you can see clearer. Some argue that because of this, it isn't a "true solution," but you can still see.
If you choose this surgery, you need to take good care of your eyes. It takes about 6 months to fully recover, and until then your eyes are very sensitive, almost like an open wound. It is a serious commitment.
Other Info:
** First Day After Surgery � Most people can return to their normal routines a day after the surgery. You will need to regularly use antibiotics, steroids, and other medications for your dry eye syndrome. Do not rub your eyes for the first 7 days and, while showering, do not let the water strike you on the face directly. Soap and shampoo in the eyes should be avoided strictly. Computer work, watching TV, and reading are acceptable, provided you lubricate your eyes regularly, and blink frequently. Light exercises are OK, but keep the sweat out of your eyes.
** One Week After Surgery � Avoid touching your eyes, as well as keep sweat out of your eyes. Exercises are fine, but avoid swimming, whirlpools and hot tubs. Keep your eyes well lubricated, and use lotions, creams and eye makeup with care, unless advised to the contrary by your doctor.
** Three Weeks After Surgery � Strenuous sports, including swimming, can be started, but with eye protection. You can start outdoor activities, but ensure that your eyes are well protected.
** 3 to 6 Months After Surgery � It will take, at least this much time for your vision to stabilize. Fluctuating vision is part of the healing process and will take time to recover.
It is completely painless, but you smell funky burning smells. It's an odd surgery, but most people can handle it.
You may need re-surgery to correct certain anomalies. It is imperative that you follow your doctor�s instructions after the surgery. LASIK recovery time depends on the care you take with your eyes.
Cheers.

LASIK or other eye surgery for astigmatism?
Q. I've heard mixed things about getting corrective eye surgery if you have astigmatism. I'd like to hear from people who've had this done or know someone who has, who had bad astigmatism.
A. Kim -
I was in your shoes 10 months ago. I had terrible astigmatism. I went in for the free evaluation that a surgeon was offering. He was confident that he could help me.
Due to my having thin corneas, he performed Epi-Lasik, instead of Lasik (only difference that you need to worry about with those is Epi-Lasik has a longer & slightly more painful recovery time and I was not able to see CLEARLY for around 3 months - I was NOT aware of THAT going in).
Point of the story is though, that I CAN see very clearly now, I think my vision is 20/15. It's so wonderful not to depend on contacts when I had been wearing them for more than half of my life!
I hope you can find a surgeon as skilled as the one I found!
Good luck to you.
