Laser Eye Surgery Recovery Tips

- Today I discuss some helpful tips for before and after laser eye surgery. I had PRK (PRK = Photorefractive Keratectomy) laser eye surgery this month (February 2017) and wanted to share the things that really made a difference in the quality of my recovery.

Ideally, you want to use a preservative-free drop. These come in small individual-use containers that have around 8 drops in each container. The drops in multi-use bottles generally contain a preservative. Systane, Refresh, and other respected makers use newer generation preservatives that are much more gentle than what was used a decade ago, but these still can sometimes cause irritation and dryness, and are not ideal for constant use compared to the preservative-free versions that both of these brands offer.
I got my eyes done about 4 years ago, been loving it ever since. Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome! So good to know. It is reassuring to hear from so many people that are doing well post laser eye surgery.
Dominic Power what about blurriness? When did it stop? I'm 2 days post op and a little concerned. I know it's too early and may take 2 weeks to a month but just curious since you've had the surgery a while ago.
@@TheWildYam How is your vision now please?
i had my Lasik surgery last dec 12, 2018
todays is Jan. 21, 2019.
I see everything ULTRA HIGH DEFINITION 😍 I almost forget sometimes i had a very bad vision. Im just so happy..no more contact lenses nor glasses.❤️ i dnt get dry eyes..i even forget the drops in some days.. i just feel so normal coz my eyes are perfect now.😍❤️
Did it take a while to get your eyesight perfect? I had it done a little over a week ago and still not seeing perfect in my left eye.
Where did you get it done?
I just wanted to say that i just got prk done last friday the 19th thay just took the contact out my eyes itch alot thank you so much for being honest with us all the people that had this done i just wanted to say thank you so much
How is your near vision now please?
Oh the drops. How could I forget, how I learned to love the drops.
I know eh? Thank goodness I am only on systane ultra lubricating drops now.
Just got lasik yesterday, your video is super helpful, I didn’t know about the hydration tip but it makes sense
Glad it was helpful!
love your videos. i m get mine next week. i m excited ❤
Good luck!!
Great information! I would add in that if you are experiencing particularly dry eyes, purchasing a humidifier is helpful too
No problem! I guess it's a tip everyone can benefit from, not just Post-Refractive Surgery patients like us.
You mention wearing sunglasses even on cloudy days. Do you also wear them at night? Maybe the sun’s light that bounces off the moon (moonlight) also contains UV rays?
Use preservative free drops. When you take the tops off, you can press them back on and get 3 to 4 uses from each one. Don't use the drops in a bottle.
If anyone is considering getting laser eye surgery, please, please think very carefully. The fact is laser eye surgery is extremely dangerous. I've had it done myself and it has ruined my life. Years on, my vision is the worst it has ever been and I am still in pain. In fact, most people who have told me they have had it done, have also had some kinds of problems, many of them serious and life-changing. Research seems to bear this out, suggesting that the majority of patients have some kind of problems.
Please take anything you are told by the companies with a pinch of salt. If you are still tempted, make sure you seek advice from an independent optometrist or ophthalmologist who has nothing to gain by you having surgery.
I had it done in 2008. Worse decision i made in my life. I have extreme dry eyes, they hurt all the time and there's nothing that can fix it. It's not worth the chance to ditch the glasses. You only have two eyes that are irreplaceable.
@@lyoe20040 Sorry to hear that. There are so many of us in the same boat.
@@lyoe20040 why would you get surgery if you Already have fry eyes ?
@@MarkDavis-pp1kh I'm not sure what you mean? Before the surgery I never had problems with my eyes. They were normal. Lasik caused my permanent dry eyes.
@@lyoe20040 apologies I thought you meant you had it before and still got it. And btw there is a certain type of medical eye drops for dry eyes. My soldier gets prescribed them however there like 250 for one supply
My biggest question has always been...can you "see" everything during the surgery? I really have to give you credit, I don't think I could work up the nerve to go through with it.....I'm a big chicken lol
Yes, you can see everything but it is more entertaining than anything. You feel no pain during the surgery. I only felt the pressure of the eye lid retractors and the cold water on my skin by my eyes during the surgery. Otherwise it is just a light show.
Thank you for your tips! I didn't know the warm, damp washcloth over the eyes trick yet. I'm about a full month in now and those dang eye goopies and crusties get on my nerves! Lol
You're welcome!
Thanks for the update Jen glad everything went good ! Migwech
I go for my next check up tomorrow and will get the official word as to how things are going. Thanks for watching!
Great Tips & Update, Jen, Keep them glasses on U Rock with em ! ATB Terry God Bless
Thanks Terry!
I have had three laser eye surgeries they never gave me drops and I don't know if anybody else has had this but I can still put lubricating drops in my eyes and my eyes still burn the first two laser eye surgeries were 5 minutes each the third one was 10 minutes and that's the one I'm having problems with anybody have any advice what I can do greatly appreciate it
How is your vision now please and are you nearsighted? Why 3 surgeries
awesome tips thanks
Thanks Wallace! I hoped that these tips would help anyone considering the surgery.
Ya i don’t think that you’re supposed to touch your lazered eyes with absolutely anything
so i got my lasik yesterday and i have been crying perpetually for that entire time is that bad
Normal. Keep up with your medications. It will pass
Not normal. If you've kept tearing up 6 hours post surgery, get your eyes checked again. It could be a dislodged flap.
Great advice! I'm scheduled to get PRK surgery this Friday. I'm absolutely terrified but hopeful plus have done a lot of research. My eyes are currently at -9.75 in my left eye and -8.50 in my right eye with astigmatism. What was your eye prescription before surgery? What did they give you for pain?
How is your vision now please?
@@souleymeneabbadi3891 It's great :) My eyes ended up being worse then I thought before surgery. -9.75 in left eye, -9.50 in right with extreme astigmatism. I was worried at first post surgery since the first month both eyes were blurry and my left eye had ghosting and double vision. I wasn't able to safely drive for a full month. The dryness was bad as well. 6 weeks in post op I just woke up one day and double vision was gone. I'm amazed at the results. I still have some starbursts at night and end of day eye dryness but nothing terrible. It should go away soon. The surgery was a breeze but the pain afterwards was awful. I don't regret the surgery though. My eyes are still healing - may take 6-7 months for the full result - but as of right now, I'm at 20/20 :)
You have big beautiful eye's but I have to say I kinda miss the glasses ...Great tip's Jen..thank's
Thanks Steve for your kind words. I tried putting my glasses on again to see what it was like. So blurry.LOL. Take care!
I'm glad it was a success
I did my TransPRK before 1month still my right vision is blurry.. how long did it take for you to recover fully ??
How is your vision now please
You have really beautiful eyes!

By the way its already done a couple of weeks for my surgery
please tell me that is use of mobile after femto lasik harm us? i feel alot of pain in my eye ..
Hi,
I had my lasik on 9th Jan, 21 days ago for my myopia. As of now, my left eye has become stable but right eye has still fluctuating vision, just like camera focuses. Is this Normal?
+Priyavrat Gupta I didn't have Lasik. With PRK my eyes fluctuated a bit related to tear production. Check with your doctor if you are worried.
ok.. :)
It is said to be normal. It is early on in the healing time. How is this problem now? I definitely notice better days than others and I'm a month in.
Hi Liesl, I think, my eyes are healing very slowly. Though i have got my 20/20 vision in both eyes, yet full stabilization has not achieved. Hope, i will get it soon
:)
What Happened Jeff
5:00 are the protective sunglasses part of the eye laser package price or separately charged?
Included thankfully!
@@TheWildYam thank you!
For me almost everything was included even the lifetime touch ups of your vision degrades
I didn’t get pain medication, not prescription anyway. I had Lasik as opposed to PRK.
Interesting. Yes, I think Lasik is less painful. I have few friends who had it and I think they just took tylenol or something.
TheWildYam The first two hours were painful but then it stopped. My friend at work who had PRK said she had pain like that four four days! I have a high tolerance for pain but I don’t think I could have tolerated four days of my eyes feeling like they were on fire.
I am six days post op and the biggest issue is the dry eyes.
I hope you are feeling better each day!
wiper will are there down there I haven't heard them in years
Yes. I haven't heard them in 2 summers though.
Hi... I'm Satish from India,Lasik surgery done to me on this month 16th,now I feel blurry at night time when I was driving and aslo feeling a circle type of brightness around the light but doctor told it will be fine after a month he suggested me Refresh Liquigel
I had the PRK and it really took 3 months for me to feel 100%. All the best!
I have done lasik a week ago.
Can you tell me how much time it takes to diminish the halos & glares at night?
@@ripompaul6531 how your eyes now sir...?
@Pawan Virk my vision is good but at night i see some glares because the pupil of the eye at dim environment expands beyond the treatment area. But it not that bothersome maybe my brain has adapted it.
@@pawanvirk8687 please find the answer written above
doing my LASIK surgery this Thursday
Best of luck!
Hello, update please
@@emmanueljuma5492 I had LASIK done yesterday afternoon. The procedure was over in about 7 minutes for both eyes. My eyes were extremely irritated immediately afterwards, but I was able to see really well with a little cloudiness. After going to sleep for 4 hours the irritation stopped completely. I never experienced any pain. My eyes are red due to the device that slices your outer cornea. I was told the redness will leave in 2 weeks. The puffiness of my eye lids went away in 24 hours. I hope this helps.
@@blaxtraordinaire wow, sounds promising. I wish you an easy recovery. I really want this surgery.
I’m pretty nervous I’m about to have my LASIK done tomorrow hope all goes well
I just got my Lasic surgery three days ago. I am a little worried because my vision is still blurry. I can see decent up close. But anything farther than 20 feet starts to get hazy. How long did it take before your vision cleared up?
3 months for the full effect
Today is day 7 and I'm still blurry, is this normal
With PRK, my vision wasn't great at 7 days. I passed my driving vision test but you only have to be 20/40 for that in our province (It think). My vision was 20/20 at about a month with improvements continuing to 3 months.
TheWildYam thank you. I left the doctors earlier today and she said the eye drops were not working or maybe I wasn't using enough. She gave me omega3 drops and had me get Celluvisc lubricating gel drops. I notice it getting a little better but still not great. Hopefully it clears up soon.
Sounds like your eyes are dry. Use the lubricating eye drops often. I was on Omega 3s pre- and post- operatively. I was also reacting to the preservative in the eye drops and had to get the ones that were preservative free.
chachee15 day 11 here, left eye is quite blurry actually, people say it is normal, yet its darn frustrating
Hope things get better. If you are worried, you can check things out with your doctor. I had a 2 week check up and a 1 month check up. I'm almost at a year post-op and happy with the result.
How are you today?
Great. 20/20
Ok, the Johnson & Johnson no tear means kids won’t cry because the shampoo helps clear tangles in their hair, not because it won’t hurt their eyes smh 🤦🏾♂️
Actually, no.
“The ‘no more tears’ means the product won't sting if gotten in a baby's eyes,” Trisha Bonner, Manager of Research & Development at Johnson & Johnson, tells us. “You’ll notice if you put your hand near a baby’s face, they won’t really blink - that’s because baby’s blink reflex is not fully developed. If a baby can’t blink, it can’t protect its eyes from falling shampoo suds during bathtime, so chemists adapted the products accordingly. Our formula uses large molecules," explains Bonner. "It is harder for large molecules to penetrate versus small ones, which makes those products mild to the eyes (and skin), preventing stingy and, thus, tears.”
No more glasses ?
Nope. I see 20/20 now. Yahoo!
That is great I had perfect eyes till I hit 46 ish then the glasses came hard to take I am still trying to get use to them. I was a welder all my life. So guess i should be thankful .
Did I mention about checking out! "Off Grid with Doug & Stacy" great ideas about homesteading maybe you would like there channel.
Will check it out! Thanks!
