Lasik Eye Surgery: post op complications?
on 03/04 I had wavefront lasik eye surgery. Immediately I was thrilled. The next day at a check-up I had almost 20;20 vision. (previously I was -6 in both). However, exactly two weeks later my opto. has told me I am -1 and -.75 (with slight sigmatism). The health of both eyes is perfect apparently, so what has caused the deterioration in sight and will it get better? any advice would be greatly appreciated?
thanks
thanks
I had LASIK surgery March of 2007. About 2 weeks ago I had floaters only with headaches, so I took it to be ocular migraines. Wednesday, I noticed them on my son's face but they werent black. Thursday when I went into work, I had my cowoker do an Optos and was dilated that afternoon which retinal edema was found. Friday a retinal specialist found a tiny retinal hole and lasered it with the argon. Monday I go for a followup.
My question is do you think my LASIK surgery caused it, and if not, could you possibly tell me what caused it. Before LASIK surgery I was a -4.75. My personal opinion is that it was mere coincidental because if it would have caused it, I would have had this in March or April, and not 3 months down the road. Please tell me what you think.

what caused it? likely conservative estimation of your rx. seeing excellently (or poorly for that matter) at the *1 day* follow up doesnt mean anything. the results of your 1 day checkup is in no way predictive of your final vision. it doesnt mean anything.
dont know if it will 'get better' or not. difficult to predict. you'll just have to wait and see. you dont have any other choice.
eventually (after say 3-6 months or so) your doc may suggest an 'enhancement' if you are still myopic.
