Hi all,

Thanks for the replies. I am now 11 days post op and eyes are feeling great. There not as dry and vision is a lot better. I am just left with a bit of white haze when I look at bright things, also white writing against dark backgrounds looks a bit hazy too. I believe this is part of the healing process, and hopefully will subside. On the whole it is a miracle, as I was as blind as a bat!:cool:

Hello.

I had the same treatment as you: Intralase & Wavefront-Lasik.

Everybodies eyes are different - thus the results and vision vary from person to person. You should definately see considerable improvement within 4 days. One thing Optimax's surgeons said to me was - Anxiety is bad for your recovery. You are not far post-op - a couple of days.

In my experience - I had driving vision the next day. All depends on the patient. I'm now 4 weeks post-op. And I feel great! You will feel so much more relaxed and confident.

Patience as Master Yoda says!

Shell,

I can't comment on the actual procedure that you had because I had epi-lasek. All I can say from my experience is that I too wasn't processing as expected and didn't get my clearer vision for abour 3 months or so.

I still have lots of problems today but that doesn't mean that you will.

It would be nice if someone from Optimax could put your mind at ease.

Regards

Ian

On the 13th june, I had this treatment, and I was -5.5 in both eyes. They did this procedure in 2 stages, they lasered the flaps, then I was put in a waiting room for nearly an hour, then i was took back in then my eyes were lasered. I can see but everything is still not up to scratch, I am just under driving sstandard, and can't see so well close up. I want to be reasurred that this procedure was o.k , and will my sight get better? I've heard it takes longer to get required vision, is this true?
