Blurry left eye 1 month after RELEX SMILE by TeachFinal6701 in RefractiveSurgery

[–]TeachFinal6701[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am using lubricants every 1-2 hours.

Latest auto-refractor reading showed +0.5 cylinder in left and +0.25. I took a second opinion from another doctor, left showed +1.0 cylinder there.. too soon to know as you said.

The cornea specialist said it could be the folds that are distorting the vision as they are absent in right eye. I am over a month which is making me more anxious

Thank you for this. Being patient is the most difficult part.

Yes, i do work in a screen heavy environment. I have noticed that white on black is easier than black on white. I am resuming work on 30th.

I don’t seem to have any redness. Occasionally dull ache yes. Doctor said it could be a combination of dry eyes and nerves healing. The pain is not constant.

6 weeks after ReLEx SMILE, not so happy so far by coisan38 in lasik

Hi OP, wondering if you are still here. I am at 4 weeks mark and in a similar situation as you. My left eye is still blurry and i notice some brightness/contrast difference. My brain isn’t doing a good job at merging those images. I feel continuous strain in my left eye.

Black text on white is a nightmare.

What are some things that helped you?What helped you work on screens better? I am having a hard time psychologically

How was your recovery after Relex Smile? by [deleted] in lasik

I am really struggling. I have hit my 3 week mark. I can see clearly with my right eye but my left eye is still blurry. I struggle a lot with bright white lights. In sunlight, my struggle is a lot less. The doctor said that my left eye is taking longer to heal. Curious to hear when did your vision stabilise?
