LASIK- thinking I made a big mistake
Anyone else have this procedure done?
desperation causes people to do many stupid things, and LASIK may have been one of them. I'm kind of desperate for help, I didn't ask enough questions at the doctor apprantly. I'm trying to register for a site called lasermyeye to ask for advice there, but still haven't heard back from admin. I've read lots of horror stories there already. So perhaps I'm worrying for no reason. Anyways I'm just about 7 days post op right now.
The biggest problem is my vision is cloudy. It's not possible to get cataracts from this procedure is it? They measured me at 20/15 the next day in my right eye. And 20/20 in my left. I paid extra for the more accurate procedure. I think it's called wavefront, but they called it enhanced. I know I didn't ask enough questions. My next appointment isn't for another 8 days, and I can't wait that long.
Anyways my vision is good yet cloudy at the same time. It just feels like there's a bunch of crap in my eye. I can see far with no problem. Although things that are extremely close to my eye are hard to see. I can't read things that are withing 2 feet of my eye it seems. I don't remember it being this bad before. But most people don't read things that close anyways, right? Night vision sucks of course, but I'm still able to drive reasonably safely. Good thing is I work graveyard and have to drive 20 miles to work everyday. but light sources at night are blurry, but that may heal over time.
I just can't seem to find info with other people who had a similar problem with their eye post surgery, which scares me. I don't know how to accurately describe my vision. As I said I can see far away, and don't need glasses or anything, and can drive. But my eyes just seem cloudy like you've been asleep a long time and have a bunch of gunk in your eyes in the morning. Of course I can't rub my eyes, that's a big no-no. There seems no way to clear my eyes out. I've already completed the 5 day drop routine, and now only use artifcial tears.
My vision seems good and bad at the same time. Playing computer games is completely out of the question, I really can't focus on the screen all that well. And I can only sleep so many hours of the day. I'm pretty miserable right now. I can see myself turning into an alcoholic really quick now, as that's the only thing I can do now. People at work said it could take 3 months to heal (people at that website said it could take up till a year), but none of them mentioned this cloudiness or inability to focus.
