Lasik: One Month Update

It’s been one month since my Lasik surgery, and I must say I am quite pleased with the result. I went to my optometrist for my one month post-op exam, and he informs me that my vision is now 20/20, aka normal. The slight irritation and feeling of having something in my eye has gone away, and over the past couple of days I have been experiencing less of the dryness as well. I still see a halo effect around bright lights, but they have diminished somewhat and are not an issue with driving at night.

The things we do with science. Absolutely wonderful.

Lasik one week later…

It has now been a week and a couple of days since my Lasik eye surgery. My vision has sharpened up a lot by now, and I do not think I will need glasses even for driving. Driving and focusing on street signs does not make my head hurt any more. I still see halos around lights, especially around the headlights of oncoming cars, and from what I hear it may be a permanent effect. However, it is tolerable, and I can still drive at night without problems.

Right now my eyes are itchy and watery and sensitive to light. Those symptoms just started on Friday though…I wonder if I should take a pill for allergies?

EDIT: My eyes feel better after showering. Still rather sensitive to bright light though. I think that’s normal.
