There are many instances of people having lasik surgery problems that show that not everyone wakes up with perfect vision after having had lasik eye surgery. Some patients reveal that they had lasik surgery problems for several days after the surgery and felt double vision for a couple of weeks thereafter.
It was not possible for such patients to view their computer screens for a number of weeks and the end result was being significantly under-corrected. There were also other lasik surgery problems felt after surgery such as dryness of the eyes as well as needing to wake in the night and put in drops.
Problems that Lasted 5 Months
Take the case of a 42 year woman who had Lasik surgery problems. She had conventional lasik surgery in June 2004 and had opted for monovision. However, she did not like it as it was very disorienting. Then, in September of the same year she went in for wavefront lasik enhancement and the following day, her vision was 20/20. However, lasik problems began appearing in the first week following surgery and there was a lot of strain to the eyes and she could not see things that were close to her and she had trouble focusing her eyes.
The lasik doctor told her she was +1 hyperoptic and was a normal part of the healing process that would heal itself soon, but this lasik problem made the strain on her eyes unbearable and kept her awake at night. The good news was that it took about three weeks before her near vision returned and the strain to the eyes lessened. After several weeks, this lasik surgery problem went away and she now has 20/20 vision even though it took almost five months to achieve.
Some other common lasik surgery problems are feeling dizzy and also having blurred vision, at first. However, under normal circumstances the correct vision should return the same day or by the following morning, at the very least. Other lasik problems are feeling some discomfort immediately following the lasik surgery and it may feel as if there is something in the eye.
It is often very difficult to resist the urge of rubbing one’s eyes but care should be taken not to touch the eyes until the flap has healed itself. In addition, there are some restrictions after lasik surgery and these include not using eye make-up for two weeks, not playing sports for a month and not to swim or take hot baths for two months.

You know a lot of people who have already had lasik surgery, but you are not sure that it is right for you. What do you need to know before making an informed decision? Start with a good eye surgeon and set up an appointment for an examination. The doctor will be able to tell you whether or not you are a good candidate for lasik surgery.
There are many reasons why you may not be a good candidate and the doctor will explain these to you. Listen to him carefully and know that he has your best interest in mind. You may find that you have:
* An unstable prescription — this means that your eye condition changes regularly.
* A severe refractive error — to correct your extreme nearsightedness or farsightedness, it will require too much deep sculpturing and cornea reshaping.
* Large pupils — if the pupil is too wide, then the laser beam will not be able to properly shape the eye.
* A thin cornea will not retain its structure and shape if the top layers of tissue are surgically removed.
* Abnoramally structured cornea — this condition is not treatable with Lasik surgery.
* Pregnant or nursing — these two conditions may change the measured refraction in your eye.
* Collagen vascular disease — affects the collagen-containing connective tissue.
* Glaucoma or cataracts. These eye diseases may cause complications for laser surgery.
* Active herpetic keratitis — a herpes infection in the eye.
* Diabetic retinopathy — a potentially blinding complication of diabetes.
These are just a few of the reasons why you may not be a candidate for lasik surgery. You should be honest with the doctor and work with him and his staff to make sure that you have no hidden problems.
Make sure you go to a reputable eye surgeon and not a small medical center that may disappear in a few years. Check into their credentials-how many lasik surgeries have they performed, were there any malpractice suits against them, and ask the Better Business Bureau about them. The eyes you have are the only ones you get-a medical error would be disastrous.
You probably know someone who has already had the procedure done. Talk to them and see what they have to say-they have first-hand experience about what to expect and they may or may not recommend their eye surgeon.
If everything is okay, you will have your lasik surgery and go through your recovery period. It will take a few weeks for a complete recovery, but your eyes should get stronger and your vision clearer.
Take your time, think about your options and then make an informed decision about your lasik surgery. You may end up with 20/20 vision and never have to wear glasses or contact lenses again. Or, you may find out that you do not qualify for this surgery. Either way, you took the time to learn about the procedure and are a more informed consumer because of it.
