I got serious astigmatism after the lasik surgery?

Question

I got serious astigmatism after the lasik surgery, not right after the surgery but gradually getting worse, image can be well recognized but with a cluster of gleam around, and the deepness of real image is slightly lightened, I didn't pay attention to it first but afterwards the symptom is getting worse, I don't know what the problem is, I do read a lot and face computer everyday, but before I got the surgery my eyes keep in the steady state since 5 years ago without getting worse, so I wanna find the reason. I wonder if it is because when I study, when I concentrate, I unconsciously strain my eyes, which strain the cornea causing the deformation of cornea (the cornea is thinner than before for it's cut by lasik surgery) . So the cornea is becoming thinner and thinner, it's suppose to be very dangerous if the cornea become thinner, which is what I concern about, I wish I could stop the diaster but the situation is still getting worse, can somebody help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

I had lasik 1year and a half ago, I have come to the doctor for several times but they just told me it was the healing period and it will be all right but the fact is the healing period is only 3-12month and my eyes are getting worse obviously, they are just too irresponsable, they told me to use eyedrop to keep my eyes wet, although the vision can be improved, I can spend my rest of life continually droping eyedrop to keep my vision, I need a radical cure. Actually even the stop of regression are acceptable, I can still see considerably well in middle distance, I'm just concern that I'll be blind in several years according to the current tendency.

correct some of my wrong words in above paragraph into "I can't spend my rest of life continually droping eyedrop to keep my vision."

So now the only problem is to stop the regression, the lasik surgery was actually quite successful, the moment I came out my eye sight was excellent. and later got astigmatism in about 1 month after the surgery.

You situation is complex and although this forum is execllent to provide answers to a question, you have multiple questions about multiple symptoms that may have multiple causes. I suggest you visit this Lasik patient forum where a more conversational exchange may take place.

"image can be well recognized but with a cluster of gleam around, and the deepness of real image is slightly lightened,"

This could mean astigmatism but it doesn't have to.
A loss of corneal transparency, with glare and loss of contrast would also match the symptoms.

Astigmatism isn't made worse by use, so if that is the main problem, supplementary spectacles for demanding activities. may be sufficient. Supplementary laser treatment might be an option. That would have to be discussed with the surgeon.

Another possibility, though, is infiltration of epithelial cells under the Lasik flap. This is a relatively rare complication producing varying degrees of cloudiness and irregular vision. Corrective treatment is usually available.

It is certainly essential for you to be examined to have the nature and extent of your loss of vison determined.

Answer 3

How long ago did you have LASIK? Sometimes astigmatism happens during the healing process and then clears later.

Have you returned to the surgeon and asked about the problem? Reading etc does not cause astigmatism; you need to see your eye doctor again.
