When you get lasik eye surgery are your eyes really sensative to light afterward?
Q. Thats what someone told me that happened. How long does your eyes stay sensitive to light until you are back to normal again..just with better eye sight.
Thankyou for any help.

A. Hi Rebeca, I had Lasik last summer and there are only two longterm effects I can share with you. One is that you will have dry eyes for several months, it doesn't hurt but you will want to use a good eye lubricant like Systane several times a day. I don't have to use any drops for dry eye now. The second thing is I do notice that if I go from dim light to extremely bright light, the glare does bother me more than before Lasik. It's no big deal at all, but I've noticed it. But hey, I have lots of cool sunglasses now! :-) I am absolutely thrilled with my Lasik and recommend it highly. I wore glasses or contacts every single day from the age of 8 and now I don't need anything.
I just realized you might have been talking about right after the surgery and yes, your eyes will be extremely sensitive to light for a few hours after the surgery. They will give you ugly sunglasses or you can take your own nice ones!
Best of luck to you!

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.

Do I have bacteria on my eyes?
Q. I have very sharp eyesight, sharper than 20/20, and I know this because I can see much better than one who has gotten Lasik eye surgery.
Anyways, I can see things swimming in my eye. It looks like strands with cells in them. If you could, try to imagine a strand of saffrom made up of circular cells. Is it bacteria I'm seeing or what? Obviously it is part of the liquid on my eyes.
I honestly mean it when I say I see the cells of the things on my eye... I knew someone wouldn't understand. I need a scientist.

A. You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They are called floaters. You can often see them when looking at a plain background, like a blank wall or blue sky. Floaters are actually tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye.
Floaters may look like specks, strands, webs or other shapes. Actually, what you are seeing are the shadows of floaters cast on the retina, the light-sensitive part of the eye.

Why do my eyes burn after putting in eyedrops after lasik?
Q. I had the custom wavefront lasik 3 days ago. Since last night, when I put eye drops in my left eye, it burns and stings. It goes away after 1 minute or so. I switched to non-preservative natural tears and it does the same thing. Any ideas why?
Thanks!
Thanks!
A. It must still be sensitive from the surgery, and since most eye drops have a salty component in them, it stings the eyes.
I guess it's best to talk to your doctor about this, and lay off the drops for a while.
