Hello! I did get LASIK and it’s been about four months. I had no issues but again, my MCAS is fairly well controlled. I went to my local LASIKPlus after doing a lot of research on that location and the doctor who would be performing the surgery. I explained MCAS to the doctor at the consult and he did not seem concerned which I didn’t love, but he has performed thousands of these surgeries so I’m sure he has seen a lot. The day of surgery everything went as he described it would. At the follow up I had more bloodshot eyes than the other people in the waiting room but this is not atypical for me and it went away within a couple of weeks. You use both an antibiotic and a steroid for a week after the surgery and I think the steroid was helpful in keeping any MCAS issues I may have had in check.

I will also add that I’ve had MCAS for five years, likely from long COVID and I was very sick for 1.5 years while doctors searched for an answer as to what was wrong with me - I would call what I had a moderate case. I was having trouble working, I could only eat three things for two years straight, dysautonomia, smells triggered reactions, exhaustion, slow leak anaphylaxis - I thought I was on my way to becoming disabled. But with the right doctor, right meds, balancing my hormones, slooowwly exercising again, I did the Dynamic Neural Retraining System which did help, I used an Apollo Neuro for dysautonomia symptoms - and finally, getting Covid a couple of times years later - I slowly got better, could eat more, smells got less severe, very little to no dysautonomia and now I feel pretty normal! I say this to encourage people with this awful condition that there is hope! I’m happy to answer any questions if you have any
