Cloudiness in one eye after Lasik?

Question

I had LASIK surgery 4 nights ago and my left eye (the second one worked on) still seems a little blurry, not nearly as clear as the other eye. Im actually having trouble reading what im typing right now. Is this normal? Will it heal itself ?

Is it possible I was under corrected in that eye?

I went back yesterday and the Doc said that the flap wasn't correcting itself so he put a "Bandage contact lens" in my eye.

Answer 1

Have you been using your drops and doing what the paperwork tells you to?

I would call the doctor who did the LASIK and say something.

I had mine done in 2000 and had halos at night for a few months, but not cloudiness in my eyes.

Make sure you use eye drops often.

Answer 2

Haai I feel u should have recovered within 48 hrs. Talk to your Ophthalmologist and get his opinion as soon as possible.

There might be a multiple number of reasons such as epithelial ingrowth, sands of sahara syndrome etc,

Dont panic it can be rectified.

I am an Ophthalmologist practising in Chennai India
