Went back for my 3 month post op check up last Saturday (after having LASIK with Dr Patel, Finchley Rd) and they were happy to 'discharge' me as everything is perfect with my eyes. My right eye is 20/20 and my left is very slightly short sighted- this will help when I'm older and need reading glasses, BUT I think my vision is FANTASTIC, as I was approx -9 in both eyes and now can see better than when I wore contact lenses. It's the best thing I ever did.
For those who still have blurry vision a week after the op- I had that for about a month afterwards and when my eyes got dry they were very blurry but now they have settled down. Up until last week I still had to use artificial tears 3 or 4 times a day but just like magic this week I have hardly used them at all. I still have slight halos around lights at night but it's not enough to bother me and I have adjusted quite well to it- anything is better than having to wear contacts and glasses especially if you've worn them since the age of 6 and after 20 years you get the freedom, I just cannot wait to swim in the sea (I used to wear my contacts in the sea and never put my head under water)- have to wait a year as I am still paying off the £1000 to have it done!!!!!
I have asked if I can go for a check up in 6 months just to get the final all clear a year after the op, anyone who wants to contact me please do, I'm happy to share my experience.
