I had a bad astigmatism in my left eye. I went and had custom lasik done. Surgery went well and at post-op check up, my vision in my right eye was 20/20, left was 20/25 – I was told it would get better. One week later I couldn’t see out of my left eye,my vision in that eye went back to 20/40 – right eye is now 20/15. My doctor told me that my cornea is still very swollen, and that my vision will come back. It’s been a week and my vision still comes and goes in my left eye. Has anyone had this problem? Did your eye stabilize? Or did you have to have another surgery done? Also my still feels like it has something in it – so I know that it’s still somewhat swollen.
I am doing everything they have told me to do – especially since I have this problem. Any knowledge I can get will be helpful.

Hi Jen,

Haven’t had Lasik myself (too scared) but I know several who have and I know it takes weeks (over a month even) for everything to settle down. Some at first wish they hadn’t done it even but after a while, everything resolved itself and in the end, their vision was excellent and they were very happy with the result. I don’t personally know any bad experiences. I would trust the eye Doctor and give it more time. And make sure you follow the post surgery procedures.
