Lasik treatment for Monovision

by Rififi, Sep 27, 2006 12:00AM
I had a Monovision lasik treatment done two weeks ago. My night sight is more or less only glaring lights. I cannot drive. Will this get better at all?

it depends on what is causing the poor night vision.

if your night vision problems are because of the monovision, then no, it will not fix itself.  also, if the night vision problems are from treated optic zone size (which, BTW is the #1 complaint with lasik) then no, it will not fix itself in that case, either.  this is the #1 complaint and side effect of lasik...night vision blur from small treated optic zone size and/or large pupil size.  unfixable.  permanent.

BUT: if the night vision problem is from corneal swelling or a prescription that is still in flux, then yes, you could still get over it & be fine.

it all depends on what exactly is causing the vision problem.
