I had prk 2 months back and my right eye is super blurry and machine reading shows some -1.5 power. I’m worried and my doctor told me it might be because of muscle strain or something…recommended me to do eye pushups…did anyone experience this kind of problem, is there a possibility of clear vision?
Same here it's day 30 but both eyes are blurry i am scared btw what's your current situation?
@@IpostIos it’s still the same…I know it can be scary…the second month was the most stressful and kind of depressing for me since there’s no improvement. But I realised worrying about something we can’t control is only gonna spoil our mental health. It’s better to talk with your doctor to know the cause. In my case they’re saying all we can do is wait until 6 months to come to any conclusion. Btw what was your power before surgery?
@@AlekhyaCreates my power was -6 both and I used to use contact lenses for long time so it was common in my life to get infection from it and eyes used to become red and scary so I decided to do prk surgery and it's day 30 today only I went to hospital doctor said wait 15-20 it will improve but I am toooooooo scary because my age is only 20
@@IpostIos your age and power is almost similar to mine…I genuinely hope it’s taking longer for us because of high power…my right is mostly okay…what about you? Are your both eyes blurry or one is better?
@@AlekhyaCreates from one eye I can see little better but with left eye I can't see even my phone it's blurry than before surgery , hope we will recover soon , where r u from ?
3 weeks after transPRK. It is a little bit different day to day. I think vision is 20/25 20/30. The main issue is ghosting. Far away big objects no problem. But close by and small objects are not sharp and difficult to read. I am not worried yes because it is just week 3 but I do hope it will get better. Funny thing is that I had a lot of problems with starburst before surgery but that is completely gone. Also halo's are almost non excisting anymore.
I have the same problem
@@FakhraAli-ms5dd I am not sure how far you are in the healing process but just after my comment in week 4 my vision improved big time. Only after long days after the computer I have a lot of ghosting but only if I have a stressfull day. It is really weird how that went. At this point I can say almost for sure that vision is 98%.
Over the next two to three days, your vision may remain hazy and blurry as part of the healing process. By about a week after the surgery, you can expect to have achieved approximately 80% of the vision recovery. However, it may take six to eight weeks for your vision to stabilize fully, giving you the clear and crisp vision you desired from the PRK procedure.
It takes much longer. A week after surgery and I can’t see hardly anything. Doc told me my vision would be blurry but never said how blurry lol. It’s actually horrible. During recovery my vision got worse then when I had glasses. But thank God it improves. If u get prk and you’re the sole provider in your family, plan on being useless for at least 2 weeks.
Thanks for this post.. I had mine 12 days ago and my vision is getting worse.. making me nervous
@@bsolo505 no problem, my vision is soooo much better now I can actually see better then 20/20. I’m at about a 20/15. I’m just waiting for the sharpness to get a bit better. The doc just looked at my eyes yesterday and said the sharpness will deff get better. I just have a new issue that I’m dealing with and the pressure in my eyes now is too high from the Steroid drops. I got added 2 other drops to drop the pressure down. Hopefully it gets better bc it’s making me nervous. Make sure you follow your eye drops to a T. I know it’s hard for you right now but your eyes will get better I promise. 👍 Good luck!
It’s essential to understand that PRK recovery takes time. Your vision might be blurry initially, and stabilising can take a few days to several weeks. Be patient and allow your eyes to heal. Adequate rest and sleep are crucial to your recovery, so ensure you’re getting enough of both. Your surgeon will provide you with specific post-operative care instructions. These instructions are designed to help your eyes heal properly and minimise complications. Following them diligently is crucial for a smooth recovery. This may include using prescribed eye drops and avoiding rubbing your eyes.
Can I do facial after one month of eye basic surgery?
I had PRK 10 days ago and I still can't see clearly everything is distorted close or far. Can anyone with personal experience share when did they start to see clearly?
Hi...I'm in same situation like u....so can I tell me if ur vision improved..and how long did it take
I'm experiencing the same, my surgery was 2 weeks ago. When did you guys start to see better? Thank you @ankitkumartiwari312
Hi Apoorva, I couldn't find you in our patient records but please reach out to us at any time via +61737385800 if you're in the Brisbane area.
I’m considering.
That’s not what my medical staff has told me… It’s normal if it takes (much) longer…
On the 18th day post-surgery, I can read and see things up close, but objects at a distance remain blurry, and I still experience sensitivity to light
During the initial recovery period, your eyes will be more sensitive to light and environmental factors. Wear protective sunglasses outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and bright light.
How about today? Any improvement
great explanation! Thanks!
Sir my cornia thickness is 471 and -5.30 is my power which surgery is suitable for me without icl
Is it common to experience occasional light flashes off to the side after cataract surgery and how long does that typically take to improve?
We would recommend you book an appointment with your surgeon to see what can be done to relieve your symptoms.

Please ask your surgeon about this as this may vary.
I did that operation recently. Amazing result. I got rid of my 20 year disability.
Glad you're enjoying new visual freedom!
@@vsonlasereyesurgerybrisban8095 But it's been 2 months since the surgery and I still have poor far vision 😁
My eyesight quickly regressed back to near my old prescription, I'm -1 and -0.5 now. Left with minor dry, surgery was in 2016 aged 25. I was told I had thick/ healthy corneas. I've tried contact lenses, but they make me sensitive to light outdoors if it's bright. They are generally just a bit uncomfortable too. So, PRK was a complete failure for me....
If that's the case, contact your surgeon to see what solutions they can offer. Sometimes top-up procedures are required.
I went with the Bates Method. It cost me $40 and I went from -2 to -0.50 in 1 year allowing me to stop using glasses. 1 person I know who got surgery took 6 months to fully recover from the surgery.
What happens....I did my cataract surgery last week....Am not diabetic at all or...But its a week now and i can see but i find it so difficult to read........Please what do i do
If your symptoms are still persisting contact your surgeon to see what solutions they can offer.
It appears you are in rough shape. Sorry.
How long does a patient need to use prednisolone after lasik surgery and if they use it more than recommended can Prednisolone damage there eyes..Thank you..
Two weeks. Can't see for ****. Still intermittent pain. Can't read.... which is 75% of my job. If this is 80% this will be a disaster.

I’m having the same issue. I too am scared. Did it clear up? When? I’m saying a prayer for us both.

@peter how's everything now?
@@rjallday28 terrible, still the same. the eye doctor says I need to have laser correction in the one eye and they can first do it 6 months after the operation. I hope this helps the double vision problem, because seeing double has ruined so much of my life specially when I work with graphics.
Its been 1.5 moths after my trans prk surgery. I'm doing all my day to day activities easily but the problem im facing is difficult reading because the words seems to me like a bit shaky or smudgy .is it normal? Will it improve more with the time ? It is called haze ?.
How r u now? I have done 3 weeks before. I feel the same. The doctor told me u would get clear vision after 2 to 3 months.

4 - 6 weeks until this blurriness and double vision goes away? I can't see clearly close or far. This is a disaster 😢 I work as a teacher and this is really a disaster 😭
How are you now?
@@amirkini9270 Blury😭
@florencetown4024 That sucks! I am an IB math teacher who had to prepare my seniors for their external exams. Before the surgery I was told the recovery wil be 1-2 weeks. Upon my week's checkup, I was told it may take up to 3 months for my vision to "settle". Just beautiful.
Hey Sara! How is your eyes now? And when you did your surgery?
I feel the same. I am a teacher also. It's been almost 5 weeks since PRK and not only am I still blurry, but I somehow got recurrent erosion of the cornea! So I have no idea what to expect. 😢
My prescription is 7.50 plus would I be suitable
You can find this out in a free 45-minute assessment. See here: vson.com.au/book-an-appointment/#_Book
Completing 4 weeks , vision still blurry.
It can take a few weeks for your vision to settle after surgery. If you are still having concerns, please do feel free to contact us.
Please tell me whats become your eyes now?
Hows your vision doing 4 months after surgery?
Thank you for making this video! My doctor talk to me at my appointment today to see if we wanted to try a lens in my eye. I have retinopathy of prematurity, congenital, glaucoma, nystagmus, photophobia, and aphakia (spelling?) I’ve had 17 eye surgeries to date, so I’m excited/apprehensive all at once. If they can do it, that would be awesome! My mother is more worried about me losing Vision , but I went from having no vision to having some after the last surgery so here’s hoping!
Thank you for this. Yes, lens replacement surgery is one of the most successful vision correction procedures with, in most cases, permanent results. If you are interested, we recommend booking a free 45 minute assessment with us: vson.com.au/book-an-appointment/#Book
Informative 🙏
Thank you!
Thanks for the video! Is this a procedure that you would recommend for a younger patient (25yo) with a + prescription and high astigmatism?
Lens replacement is a great option for people with high astigmatism yes and it is a suitable option for younger patients too. Lens replacement is often a once in a lifetime procedure, so it benefits younger people more as they can enjoy longer results! you can book a free 45 minute assessment here to discuss further: vson.com.au/book-an-appointment/#Book
Please stop performing these laser eye surgeries as although risk might be low but vision is such delicate and critical sense that it's not worth the risk. First invent a method to clone eyes to have spares and then you can do laser eye surgery. End of story.
We understand your concern and yes, there are risks with any medical procedure. However you can rest assured LASIK has stood the test of time as a successful and effective procedure. Have a read of this blog which covers the risks in laser eye surgery: vson.com.au/should-you-feel-scared-about-laser-eye-surgery-risks/

Hello Other Way, we are sorry you experiencing blurred vision on your recovery. This is normal to have vision fluctuations a few weeks after surgery. Your vision should stabilise soon. If you your symptoms persist or have any other concerns, please do contact us.
My night vision has gone worst. I see starburst after 2 weeks of PRK
We're sorry to hear you're experiencing this. It sounds like you're experiencing temporary vision fluctuations which is a normal part of healing after PRK. Your vision should settle in the coming weeks. If your symptoms persist or you have any other concerns, please feel free to contact us.
I had replacement surgery about 6 months ago. The right eye was first. During the lazar operation I saw dancing green lights all over the eye. The next day I had a white fog that prevented seeing almost everything. I could barely see that there was a lite eye chart and could not see a single 20/800 letter on it. After 8 days the fog had cleared to the point that I had a soft focus 20/50 vision. Overall it took 9 to 10 weeks to slowly improve to 20/30 vision without the soft focus. After a 12 week wait from the first surgery I had the left eye done and it went about like what I understand to be normal. At 4 weeks I had 20/30 vision. No one has explain what caused the green lights and the fog with a long slow recovery. I'm glad I had the surgeries but was very concerned with the right eye for the first 5 weeks. Because of the problems on the right eye I have had 2 extra checkup with a third coming up next week. So what I'm saying is that the surgery does not always go as planed but the end result can still be good. I don't know what the problem rate is but for me it was 50%.
Hello Donald thank you very much for this honest review. We're sorry you had a slow recovery. It sounds like you experienced vision fluctuations after your surgery which is a normal part of healing as it can take some time for your vision to stabilise. But we are pleased to hear that you got your desired end result in the end. Please feel free to get in touch is you have any future concerns.
I had lens replacement surgery 3 years ago. It's the best thing ever. I wore glasses starting in 8th grade. Then when I got older I needed reading glasses. All of that is gone. Awesome.
That's great to hear George! Lens replacement is one of the most successful vision correction procedures. We're glad you're now experiencing visual freedom.
Ok these comments are reassuring. I’m 5 days in and I still have the bandage contacts in and everything is still blurry. Doctor was kind of surprised when I told him I 100% couldn’t drive atm.
I’m on Day 9 and still can’t drive. I was a +6.00 in both eyes though. My near vision is crisp. I just can’t see clear passed 10’
We hope you've had a better recovery now. It can vary for different people. If you have any further concerns, please feel free to get in touch.

@@94livinHey, how is your vision now?
What does straining do to your eyes? Higher blood pressure? More pressure within your eyes? You answered that you can’t exercise, but not why.
Yes more pressure in your eyes. Your eyes will be vulnerable the first few days after surgery as you would any procedure so it's best to take it easy and not do any strenuous tasks. You can find out more in a free 45 minute assessment: vson.com.au/book-an-appointment/#Book

We're sorry you're experiencing this after your surgery. It is normal to experience blurred vision or vision fluctuations after Trans PRK surgery. We hope your recovery has improved. If not, please do contact us.
been 2 weeks i got the surgery. left eye is less blurry compared to the right eye . i can see things further much better than things closer .
How is it now?
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your experience after your recent laser eye surgery. We're sorry to hear that you're experiencing some differences between your left and right eye. We'd like to assure you that this is a normal part of the healing process. After laser eye surgery, it's common for vision to fluctuate as your eyes adjust to their new state. As a result, one eye may heal faster than the other, causing temporary differences in clarity and focus. These fluctuations typically resolve within a few weeks, but it's important to be patient and follow any post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon. If you have any concerns or questions about your recovery, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to support you throughout your journey to better vision.

@@willbearheart1356 Yes, trust the doctors when they say to you that your eyes need time to recover. My vision is 20/20 now.
Thank you for sharing your experience 15 days after your laser eye surgery. We understand that it can be concerning to still experience blurry vision at this stage of your recovery, but we want to reassure you that this can be normal. Every individual heals differently after laser eye surgery, and some people may experience a longer recovery period than others. It's not uncommon to experience some blurriness or haziness in your vision during the initial post-operative period, as your eyes are still adjusting to their new state. We recommend that you continue to follow any post-operative care instructions provided by your surgeon, including the use of any prescribed eye drops or medications. It's also important to avoid any strenuous activities or exposure to harsh environments that could potentially affect your eyes during the healing process. If you have any further concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to support you throughout your recovery and ensure that you achieve the best possible results from your surgery.

That's partly because of the eye drops

How is it now?
@@souljaboy4565 at night, cant always see clear
We're sorry to hear that you're still experiencing haze three months after your laser eye surgery. While it's common to experience some haziness or fluctuations in vision during the initial healing period, these issues usually resolve within a few weeks. In some cases, however, patients may experience longer-lasting haze or other visual issues. This can be due to a variety of factors, such as pre-existing eye conditions or complications during the surgery. We recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to have your eyes evaluated and discuss any ongoing issues you may be experiencing. They can provide you with a more personalised assessment and recommend any further treatments or adjustments that may be necessary to help improve your vision. Thank you for choosing our clinic for your laser eye surgery, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you for contacting us and sharing your experience two weeks after your PRK surgery. It's not uncommon to experience some visual changes or fluctuations during the healing process, but we understand that experiencing double vision can be concerning. Double vision, or diplopia, can occur after PRK surgery due to a variety of factors, such as dry eyes, swelling, or changes in the shape of the cornea. We recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment with us to have your eyes evaluated and determine the underlying cause of your double vision. We may recommend additional treatments or adjustments to help improve your vision, such as prescribing new eyeglasses or contact lenses. In some cases, diplopia may resolve on its own as your eyes continue to heal, but it's important to have your eyes evaluated to ensure that there are no underlying issues that require further attention. Thank you for choosing VSON for your PRK surgery, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.
i have done my prk recent after prk 7 days go my left eye still not clear showing 100 percentage
Thank you for contacting us and sharing your experience 7 days after your PRK surgery. It's not uncommon to experience some fluctuations in your vision during the initial healing period, and it's possible that your left eye is still in the process of adjusting. However, if you're concerned that your left eye is not healing as quickly as your right eye, we recommend that you schedule a follow-up appointment with your surgeon to have your eyes evaluated. They can perform a thorough examination to determine if there are any underlying issues that require further attention. In some cases, additional treatments or adjustments may be necessary to help improve the clarity of your vision. We may recommend the use of additional eye drops or medications, or they may advise you to avoid certain activities or environments that could potentially affect your eyes during the healing process. Thank you for choosing VSON for your PRK surgery, and please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns.
