I'm one week into recovery and man I can't wait to stop using the antibiotics eye drops and then after another week I can start reducing the frequency of artificial tears. Then the 1 week post op on Monday and I can start working out again. Some of the best cosmetics decision I made in my early twenties is working out, Lasik, preventative anti-aging skincare, get on hair loss med when I saw early signs of hair loss, and taking care of my overall health and wellness. And also growing a beard + threading my eyebrows and finding good barber.
I experienced weird side effects I had the Relex smile procedure in April 2022. I looked at horror stories before I had the surgery but I ignored them and thought there is a very low chance that I will be one of these people who experienced complications. I was wrong, I did experience complications from the surgery. I experienced quiet bothersome side effects. These side effects were persistent afterimages,hazy vision, spots, shadows, sudden blurriness, reduced vision in dim light, floaters, flashes, glare and starbursts. Shortly after the surgery I started noticing I get lots of afterimages whenever I look at bright lights. When I look at bright light and look away I can still see the imprint of the light shape in my vision. I know a lot of people have this but after the surgery I noticed that it is much easier and quicker for these afterimages to form and they last much longer than normal ( over 5 minutes!). I am now much more prone to getting these annoying afterimages whenever I look at bright lights and let me tell you they are quiet annoying since they disrupt my vision. Immediately after the surgery I also noticed I had bothersome floaters ( mostly in my left eye). These floaters are also quiet annoying. They are always there and they are quiet big. I asked the clinic about these two side effects and they said that it is not related to the surgery since they are to do with the back of the eye (the retina and vitreous) and not where they operated which is the cornea. However I find that hard to believe since I never had these problems before the surgery and its a big coincidence that they started happening right after I had the surgery. The fact is laser eye surgery does affect the whole of the eye and not just the cornea. Overall I am not satisfied with the results because of these side effects. I was expecting top notch results for the high fee I had to pay for the surgery. Even though the intended correction has been achieved I still suffer from anxiety and depression as a result of these side effects ( especially the afterimages, hazy vision, spots and shadows).
My daughter got lasik done to left eye . She is 25 years. After lasuk after five to six days later she has trouble seeing near things. She is seeing ghosty images or double image. Now it 20 days over but still suffering. She has gone into depression. Please advise
Nice video 👍🏻😊 Hey I am 17 year old I have moderate myopia and now I started seeing 3-4 floaters in my vision should I worry for that I only see them in day light or white Wall or normal bright light Pls reply
Had lasik surgery in 2000 and now having problems. My eyes are very dry, I see double. I do massage, take restasis drops, use hot masks but still my eyes are dry. My specialist told me I would have to live the rest of my life with that problem I'm 70 years old. One of my lens is deteriorating and he told me it would be dangerous to redo a surgery. Do you have any suggestions?
I had lasik in 2019 and I am currently waiting to see Rheumatologist. I also have dry mouth so I think I may have Sjogren’s. Apparently most people only have mild dryness for 6-12 months healing after that. Seems to be the case for everyone I know who have had it so me constantly putting eye drops and it not helping they think is underlying problem. They did recently make me autologous serum tears which are helping and way better and cheaper than prescription drops like restasis. They’re still expensive because insurance doesn’t cover but I paid $100 for two bottles which they said should last 2-4 months. I’m using it four times per day with the artificial tears in between. Artificial tears did nothing for me by themselves. I feel so much more relief with the serum tears supplementing. Ask your old surgeon or ophthalmologist about this and maybe have some extra lab work done if you have any autoimmune disease symptoms. They take your blood to make the serum tears. It’s not bad though. Like a regular blood test. Then they spin it in a machine to get the serum and mix in some saline eye drop solution. It’s kinda weird but I was desperate and the research is good. Lord does it help. I’m recommending it to everyone with dry eye suffering when over the counter hasn’t helped
I am not driving (going to uber), but worried I will not be able to see well enough to open doors or find my way to my apartment once I get out of my uber/read elevator floor buttons. Will it be that bad?
At the age of 43, I was wearing specs with -3/5 in right eye and -2.0 in left eye. Due to problem in wearing specs of near and far, I took risk and did laser on 28th May, 2022 only for far vision correction. Dr. 1st said that in 3 days, i will be able to see properly and do all computer and writing work by 3rd June, 2022. Today as on 6th June, 2022, In left eye I still have -0.75 number and in right eye I still have -1.25. I have near number of +1.25. so now with 1 eye i can see far clearly and with1 eye i can see near clearly. Outdoor i can see from left clearly to certain level and from right not so clearly. In the night time from right eye i am completely blind and with left eye i can see only objects with lights around and people when they come too close. Cant ride bike and drive car in morning and night both properly. The dr. is saying ke variation in number correction happens and it is normal and i should come after 3 months and after that give any complaint. so i should for 3 months work as half blind for 3 months. he told me about dryness and regression but he never told and in all the videos on youtube no one have uploaded any video in which no. in one is corrected properly to 90% and no. in one eye is corrected to 50%. Now sometimes i can see far things properly, but not semi-far things and sometimes near things. my eye sight is now cocktail. The vision will change or not change. now only time will tell and no other option except waiting for 2nd enhancement if any. Kindly guide. 😔😪
@@full2fun675 Hope you get better soon, I wish I new this before 😟what bother me is that I had better vision with glass before! i can not see highway exit signs or speed limit from safe distance anymore.
@@hormozgilyanna1069 here is the fact, I get used to it. It is not getting any worst. it is well enough to do daily activities. I am guessing that I was just irritated as a patient at the beginning and made a big deal out of it. Based on my experience just follow the prescribed routine and try to be patient, the change is gradual and need time, it was not noticeable by me, yet at the end I am happy and satisfied. 😄
thanks sir, ı have lazy eye, my left eye is lazy and since 4 years ı have been seeing things in double ı have double vision, 12 days ago ı had lasik lazer surgery and double vision is still with me how can it be solved?
No worries, just keep low for the first week and everything after will be cake I just had my surgery done 4 days ago and i feel great and my vision keeps improving
@@arunbhatti3379Hi, I'm on my 10th day post fetmolasik and my eyes are still blurry at times, usually in the afternoon. Do you remember how long it took for you to recover? Thank you.
As a tennis instructor that plays on clay courts (sand/dirt) am I going to face difficulties as I hit the ball and the dirt occasionally going into my eye? I’ve got my Lasik about 3 days ago, curious on the precautions I should take. I did it specifically to avoid glasses, am I ironically going to have to wear some to avoid that? Has the operation evolved in any way throughout the time? And when one if the eye balls is blood shot, does that mean the procedure didn’t go on it as well as it could have? Appreciate your time in advance.
If ur on ur 40s and you like to read alot without reading glass then better don't do it, as it is the reverse effect of lasik for those who are on their 40s
Hi doctor, my husband passed away 2months ago and since then am crying everyday... From 2days back I feel like my left eye is very dry... And it feels like some foreign partical in my eye... I feel that after I wake up from sleep in the morning... Please tell why this is happening.. Please advice what to do
First of all, I am terribly sorry to hear that. It really could be a lot of things. Crying a lot will change the tear chemistry and contribute to dry eye feeling. But also, you mentioned it happens in the morning when you wake up which is often the case when ones eyes do not fully close overnight. I would definitely recommend trying to find a dry eye specialist near you to find out what exactly is happening. Good luck in your journey, my deepest condolences to you!
After struggling for 1.5. my surgeon gave me Visol gel and Restasis which improved my vision drastically after putting 2 3 times.then I kept on putting these drops for 3 months
@@markhor8082 hi :) its been 9 months since i had it and my vision is great now, but I’m not going to lie it took a few months for it to get gradually better. Most of the people I know we’re telling me that their vision was perfect few weeks after the surgery, and honestly I thought my surgery didn’t work .. so it’s better not to compare yourself with others at least for the first 6 months 😅 my advice is to be patient and don’t google everything 😂💔
I had blade lasik... 3 month ago... My vision improving but on my left eye... Glare,halos, starbursts... Are also present... But my doctor said.... It will faid away soon... The problem was that during surgery flap didint cut perfectly.. but doctor said it cuts on border line... Thats why on left eye halos,glare, starburst present... What your opinion
Where did you go for your LASIK? The two popular places near me, TLC and LasikPlus, both do all-bladeless LASIK. Using a blade on you may have led to some of your problems.
@@adityanair1001 I had asked about Contoura Vision before my procedure, and was told that it would not have provided a greater benefit for me than bladeless custom LASIK. Fortunately, things have worked out for me 2 1/2 years later.
Lol, you can even open your and properly watch a video right after Lasik surgery. I could barely walk after taking the Valium, all the eye drops and then the surgery. 🤣🤦♂️
We ALL need to be aware of LASIK, even if we don't get it ourselves. A guy once had his flap completely come off, it went into a guys open wound and ended up going into his circulation killing him!
Yeah no... the only way that a flap (or portion of) could enter through the blood stream would be via an artery. If the guy had severed an artery, he's got much bigger issues at hand than the risk you've reported issue.
As you know there are people out there that break the law. If I cant match the firepower when shot at the I'm as good as dead. If the law bans them they will not disappear and there will be less people out there equipped to protect their families. To be honest with you, any gun is deadly. Raise your children correctly and be responsible with fire arms. Horrible idea to disarm the law abiding citizens and give more power to those that are going to get them legally or illegally.
My job requires me to dress up. How soon after surgery can I go back to wearing full make up? “Wait several weeks to be conservative” I don’t have that luxury but I understand why it’s better not to risk it
