Question about seeing a doctor Post Lasik...
Hello, I had Lasik surgery done in Ecuador 8 days ago, i live in NYC and just got back to NY 6 days ago, i have been reading online that it is mandatory to have a follow-up with your surgeon, but since my surgeon is in Ecuador, it is not gonna happen.
I want to know if going to a Ophthalmologist and explaining the situation would be similar? or do i have to find a surgeon here?
Also...well this is a bit off topic but when i was undergoing the surgery the doctor had told me to stare into the green light, but my eye kinda relaxed to much and went off focus for a second. Could that do any damage, or not give me the greatest results?
Thanks, Mario.

You need follow-up care. Regarding the fixation: if it was a tracking laser (most are) there should not be a problem.
