I had PRK done on 3-8-07 and I am now on day 11. At my last visit, my vision was 20/40 in both eyes and am still waiting on some improvements!! They tell me to be patient but I think my patience has run out! I can see but not crisp and it usually worsens at night
I had PRK surgery done Jan 8
I had PRK surgery done Jan 8 and I still can not see well. The right eye is completely blurry the left eye has a little more clarity but starbursts and halo's. I can not read, watch tv or drive at night and during the day I can only drive where I am familiar. I will have to give up a vacation I had planned for April. I am hugely disapointed in how this has turned out.
Did they say whether or not
Did they say whether or not it will improve or will you have to go back to wearing glasses?
Joining the club!
Hi fellow PRK post-ops...!
I had PRK done on both eyes on April 2,2007 by a well respected reasearch and development Eye Intitute. Like many others, I could see better with the bandage contacts right after the surgery. I spent most of the first 4 days sleeping, feeling uncomfortable, and not being able to do much. My vision also diminished greatly after they removed the lenses (7 days with those things on...ugh!) Today, on day 13, I still suffer from blurry vision particularly up close, and very, very, very dry eyes that need tears every 20 minutes or so which contributes to the blurriness. It is exhausting to be forever thinking about your eyes and trying to function and focus! I admit that it is hard not to wonder if it was all a mistake and that I didn't do enough research before deciding to go ahead with the surgery.
However, after finding this forum (thank you Matt!), I felt some relief that others are/have experiencing/experienced similar frustrations. I guess it is a matter of being patient...the doc's don't tell you much about recovery...very vague. is that because they are afraid people won't do it?
From what I have read, the dry eyes are common, but often worse in women. To start addressing this problem, I have dramatically increased my intake of omega-3 fatty acids (walnuts, ground flax seeds, halibut & salmon) and vitamin C (tissue repair). The Omega3's are one of the few ways to help with dry eyes especially if the problem is going to be permanent. The nerves from the tear (lacrimal) glands are connected to the corneal tissue and gets damaged during the surgery and it can take a long time to regenerate the nerves again. I guess that is why people say it can take about 6 months to a year for their dry eyes to start feeling better. I guess only time will tell.
I also switched to tears that have no preservatives in them. More expensive...but the preservatives dry out your eyes and makes it worse. It made a huge difference in comfort.
I hope as time progresses, that everyone finds their vision improving. I am so glad you are out there. It really helps.
Good Luck all and it's nice to meet you!
