No horrible replies please! I had lazer eye treatment on Friday 29 Dec and am still unable to see properly. Can anyone give me reassurance that it will get better and if you have had it, how long it took to see better. They told me 50% can see clearer within hours & 50% within days.

Your statistics are about right--it varies from person to person. My day vision was clear almost immediately, but it took weeks before halos around lights at night disappeared. You're probably scheduled for a checkup very soon. In the meantime, follow your aftercare instructions to the letter. It's too soon to be concerned.

I used to work for Wills Laser Vision, and I also had LASIK myself. I wouldn't get worried about not being able to see clearly yet. Your eyes may still be swollen. You should still be taking drops, which will help with that. After a week things should calm down. Schedule another follow-up visit if you don't have any improvement after a week (sooner if you have severe discomfort).
It took me only a day to see improvement with my left eye. In my right eye there was improvement but not as much as the left. I ended up going back to get the right one redone about a year later. It's been about 5 years now, and I love it! I don't regret a thing!

My best friend had this done a couple of years ago. It took a few days for the effects to show, but they did show. Give yourself a few more days before you start to worry too much. And if you're not wearing sunglasses for most of the day, put them on! Not sure if they told you to do that, but it's supposed to help your eyes relax or something.

what they told you is correct as they do with cataracts, but for myself i will not allow a laser anywhere near my eyes i just do not feel comfortable about that kind of treatment so i had my cataracts removed the "old fashioned way" I hope its all OK for you but if in a week your vision is still impaired then get back to them your eyes are so precious

With all due respect to you I think you should ask your opthalmologist because it will depend on a whole host of different factors.
