Post PRK blurriness
by Gwyny, Apr 28, 2008 05:20AM
I had PRK done on 2/14/08. Was faithful with eyedrops until about the last 2 weeks. When I use the tears eyedrops, my vision gets very blurry for a bit. Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to help this? Also, I find that I can see clearly to drive and even to read and do my hand crafts without glasses, but it's still difficult to read letters at a distance... i.e., road signs, billboards with smaller print. Will this improve? Prior to surgery I had very bad astigmatism. Had it not been for astigmatism I would not have needed glasses.

You need to call your surgeon's office and ask about the use of medications. By now you should be seeing pretty clear. If you aren't in a week or two get a second opinion and also ask your surgeon about your level of vision.
