72 hours after treatment, I’ve stopped taking the pain tablets and just using the eye drops now. Vision has improved quite a lot in the left eye and is improving in the right eye. There still a blur over my right eye and I can definitely feel the contact lens as I blink/open my eyes. I guess it should be another day or two before my vision is OK. I could read the licence plates of the cars parked across the road with my left eye – so things are looking good. I can also comfortably use the computer and watch TV for at least 30 minutes at a time. I don’t seem to be suffering from any light sensitivity as I haven’t needed to use sunglasses at all.
I’ll work from home tomorrow as I got a lot of catching up to do; just need to remember to take regular breaks from using the computer.
I am 4 days post op and I am really disappointed things are really blurry and hasy. No way can I drive a car – how long before thingd really got better
Unfortunately I am in a senior position so have been obliged to use pc and paper work.
The honest answer is at least 2 weeks before things start settling down. The first couple of weeks you’ll get really bad days where it’s blurry and some less bad days.
I found that after 6-7 days, I could work on the computer and read papers but I’d have to take lots of breaks e.g. close my eyes for a couple of minutes or look out the window into the distance.
You gotta be patient with LASEK.
Thanks for your helpful comments, unfortunately I lost the link!
Eyesight improved rapidly after contact lense bandages came out and I was driving legal on that day.
Still improving and eyes working fine in Dubai for a conference.
BTW Dubai per 3 meetings we have had with ex-pats is completely screwed and it does look that way plenty of unso;d flats and Villas plus 100s of thousands of sq meteres of empty offices.
