Lasik surgery..... - Page 9

I do know that they cut a flap back on my eye and then used a laser to shape my eye under. You could smell the burn.. eww. They did two different things with my eyes though. On my really bad eye it only was 20 seconds and on my not as bad eye it took 40. Not sure what the difference was.

Because PRK burns the whole front of your eye off.

Ok, mine was Lasik. They cut the flap of tissue over the cornea then used the laser. I don't care, the shit worked and I can see perfect for the first time since I was 7 or 8

Vision is gradually improving now. Lack clarity, but I can function normally again.

Interesting... glad things are sorting out for ya... mine gradually improved over the first three weeks... then settled in... (may have still changed +/- but I couldn't tell)

Oh damn man, thats horrible, hope they get ya fixed up quick!

As the membrane heals, it does so irregularly, so vision will be blurry for a while after. I don't think mine was that bad for that long though. Take fish oil tabs.

Not as bad as I used to be without my glasses, but not even close to my old vision with glasses.

Have a follow-up appointment tomorrow morning.

Are you far or near sighted?
