I had LASEK on !2th April 2003 at Finchley Rd clinic. A "saturday guy" performed my painless treatment and I could see the results immediatly! To be succinct my right eye healed perfectly within 2 days...my left one took more like 2 months. I truly panicked at the blur, haze, double vision, and lack of ability to read even the top line of the chart, without my dominant right eye to help out. I had a topography at 10 days post op at which the optician said "your cornea is badly distorted" and ran for the doctor! I'd developed hyperplasia (extra scar tissue) and was assured it would heal in about 6 weeks. IT DID! 4 months post op I have BETTER than 20/20 vision, with only a little starbursting at night, not too distracting. My previously dim night vision has become far better! ( I understand that this is unusual). My one piece of advice would be to ask to see the same optician each time (Barry comes highly recommended; he is wonderful and very honest.) I do feel that the literature prepares us to expect an almost instant result and I panicked unnecessarily when this was not the case. To anyone out there...please give it time and good luck!
