Anyone else have these problems after Lasik surgery? (United States)

Question

I had it done in February, I seen instant results when i left the city where i had it done. I paid $3200 and I am very pleased with my results, i went from 20/800 to 20/15 vision. My eyes are constantly dry though especially when i wake up. I'm using the eye drops, Restasys and Systane. And they help, but what i was wondering has anyone else had these problems?

It's not uncommon to have dry eyes after Lasik, sometimes will get better after a couple of months, but sometimes it doesn't go away. Dry eyes is a common side affect of Lasik and it may be one that you have to live with. The Restastis and Systane are really all you can do, that and wait to see if it heals.

Answer 4

This is something that they should have gone over with you BEFORE you had the surgery. I am always really surprised when I hear that people are alarmed with their side effects when the surgeons I know do disclose the risks and side effects. This is the most common one. The Restasis and Systane are the best and they are compatible with each other. Restasis is the only thing out there that actually stimulates your own tear production and Systane is one of the only drops that does not hinder the work that Restasis is doing for you. Try also taking a flax seed oilsupplementt. This helps keep your tears oily so that they do not evaporate as easily. The length of the dryness varies per person so it is something that no one will be able to tell youbecausee there is no real pat answer. I feel for you, hon. Make sure you are wearing some really good polarized sun glasses like Maui Jim or Revo or something like that so that you do not aggravate the dryness by experiencing glare. I wish you well!
