I'm in my 3rd week of recovery. It's still blurry. Dry in the mornings. But my night vision is better than the day 🤔Surprisingly!
How is your vision now please and the dryness
going through my recovery process right now, and you have been very helpful thank you !!
How did your process go ? Still dry eyes ?
Im in my second week after PRK and your videos are helpful and comforting. Still struggling with my sight it's blurry and I do have the same thing of one eye healing faster than the other.. it feels weird but I'm trying to adjust.. thanks again
How is your vision now please
This was very encouraging for me. I saw your 2-week video and I am going through a similar thing where my sight got a lot blurrier after 9-10 days or so. Right now my left eye is definitely seeing double and my right eye is just somewhat blurry. Its been very difficult for me to read and write even if I can, which cause my projects to get stalled.
Yeah mine got blurrier AFTER the contacts were removed, and have stayed pretty bad since. (Improved a bit the last two days)
@@TommyLellan Its over a year since I wrote that post. I recovered fully and my eyesight is just great. No more glasses for me. Good luck!
@@TommyLellan Hello Tommy, how long does it takes for you to be comfortable/ able to read/ use computer after removing the 'bandage' contact lens. I had the contact removed 3 days ago, and the vision has not improved since the removal, I am kind of worry with this condition.
@@anwarahmad5146 Yeah don’t expect full vision for a couple of months. Sucks I know but you’ll be so glad when it’s over.
Just got your video. I had my PRK surgery last 2024 June. I have issue reading up close even it’s almost 2 months now. Hope you have a time to response 😊
On my 14th day of recovery! light Starbursts aren't as bad as they were a week ago.. Still a little bit blurry at times but bot too bad.. Some colors are very sharp tho. Kinda blurry trying to read somehing over 15 ft when the background gives a lot of contrast (like white backg. and black letters).. more confident than yesterday but it still worries me a little since you don't know (or won't know) the result after a couple of months...

Thank you for your video and sharing your experience and keeping your video short.
Awesome!!! That's great news!! Really glad it has turned out well. Am thinking to also to go for eye surgery, as my eye sight is really not that great at all. ;( and I know that with the prk surgery the healing process will be a little longer. And also thanks for the computer tip. Lol. I use double screen computer at work. So am a bit dubious as to how that will come into play too. Thanks for the update video!! ☺️🙏
it’s been a month for me but im still not feeling comfortable at all😭 my eyes are so sensitive i can’t even touch any makeup still…is it normal? when does this feeling go away?
Almost to week 2, left eye is amazing right is blurry still. A little crusting but videos like these are great. I appreciate the info.
Any update?
@@kitterific it’s almost been 4 months. Around the last week of month two my right eye started to clear up.it was a very strange experience. The right eye was about two weeks ahead of the left eye as far as healing and focus. As of now my visual acuity is excellent. I was pretty worried, it it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made.
@@Pays2Win congratulations on you full recovery. I am software engineer and having many issue because I am still unable to do my work properly. I have to watch laptop screen about 8 hours and that is much scary for me.
@@kitterific give it some time and be patient. I had the same issue. Trying to use my computer at work was the worst part of recovery as one eye was adjusting different than the other. I had to get within 12” of my monitors to see the screen, and it was still very blurry. I was very worried for months. Some people heal faster than others. My friend took only two weeks to fully recover. My eyes took 4 months.
@@kitterific any updates? Having same issue..
Huge thanks for sharing you journey, you are awesome!
thats very helpfull video... you are explaning better than my doctor :D
Thanks for this Sharon. I know this video is super old now, but I'm going through the "double vision" thing you described in your 2-week video. I'm 2.5 weeks in and have the double vision symptoms in both eyes. It's often clear iwhen I wake up and then the double vision settles in as the day goes on. Nice to hear that you have had steady recovery.. looking forward to that. Pretty annoying not being able to see after 3 weeks!
How's you vision now did your double vision improved? If yes in how long
@@lovedeepsingh9760 my right eye yes. Unfortunately it looks like they've made an error on my left eye. It's looking more and more like I will need a second corrective surgery to fix the mistake.
@@dylansmyth oh no, sorry to hear that. What was your prescription prior to surgery?
@@pat5602 only a -3.5 or so in both eyes.
@@dylansmyth what is the prescription of your left eye now? My right eye is clear since week 2 but my left has lagged behind so much that no changes have happened since the beginning of week 2. It is as 20/70 and has not moved since. Im almost a month into recovery and i am worried about the lack of progress.
Kindly tell me how's your vision right now please update specially night vision
really appreciated but i hve some questions
Hello, your video made me feel better cause after my prk my astigmatism on right eye is still the same as it was before(0.5) but on the left eye is tottaly gone ( was 0.5) and i am a bit worry but i hope it get well soon
When did you stop sleeping in your mask? I’m afraid to sleep without it! I’m a side of face sleeper and I’m afraid of squashing my eye or rubbing my eye in my sleep.
Hello I had prk 20 days back...my near vision is not that clear...it's tuf to read because there is bit double vision...n very far vision is also the same...
But I am feeling positive after ur video hope things get well ...
How your vision right now please update specially night vision
@@markhor8082my vision is perfect
With god's grace.
I am just loving it
I am in 5. Week . I have still double vision. Is it normally?
@Brenda Pollo you're weird
I’m a month in. Last week my left eye is awesome. My right eye has stopped getting better. It’s blurry as hell. Maybe 20/40. How long should I wait to tell the Dr. I have a follow up in 10 days
how is your eye now
Hi I just had my PRK. I have some questions can I ask you
Thank you
I will being doing PRK soon. How many days after until you was able to drive?
Robert McMurrer maybe 4-5 days. It took a while to get back to normal
Hows your eyes now ?
My surgery 4 months ago is more clearly possible?
Afrid i I'd say so! If you're nervous you can call up your surgeon and have him/her check on you. But I got clearer and clearer up to a year later
Thank you so much for this video.
Hi! I just got PRK done the second week of March and I'm about to reach my 1 month mark on 15 April. I wanted to ask you if the same thing happens to you-- when I'm reading something at close range (like a book or my phone), when I look at something farther, it's really blurry. My doctor says I need to practice my eye muscles for focussing close range and far. Are you experiencing something similar?
I did have some issues with closeness and farness for a little bit. My doctor said that after PRK, for a bit you can develop an astigmatism. It did go away though. I would give it some more time for your eyes to heal and get used to everything. I wouldn't be too concerned. Now I don't have any problems with my phone and books and I can read street signs even if it's super far away in the dark. So just wait it out. Hope everything goes well!
+Sharon Michelle This is encouraging and makes me feel better. Thanks for the input!
Im in my second week and have the same issue.. how are you now ??
@@ghaydoo how's your vision right now?
Please update specially night vision
For how long did you use the artificial eye drops? I'm 6 weeks out and I'm still using them every hour
Timoteo Arellano I still use them once in a while when my eyes feel dry. I think I used them every hour for a month or 2. Then started only using them every couple hours. Then once in morning and once at night, and then weaned myself off slowly.
Timoteo Arellano you gotta cut them out little by little when you feel dryeye try to close your eyes for your natural lubrication for 3 minutes
Thanks for the video.
Today is my 29th day after prk. I am having the same conditions as you had.
My left eye is recovered but right is still blurry with double images vertically. I am able to read screens because my left eye has much rehearsal to read itself. With my right eye I see double lines.
How much did your eyes take to read screens in a better way?
Any updates?
More than 4 months have been passed. Both eyes are normal. Sometimes, I feel a little bit blurry or slighty double vision.
@@kitterific Thanks for replying:)
I have similar issue , right eye sees really good after almost 2 weeks but the left eye sees blurry, and now it's been exactly 1 month from the surgery.
How long did it take until your problematic eye recovered?
It took about 2 months to look good specially at screens. If I use systane(eye comfort drops) three to four time in a day then blurry vision goes away.
@@kitterific kindly tell me about your night vision? Did you experiencing any starburst,halos?
How do you feel afterwords ive worn glasses since the second grade and I'm 23 this might be worth it to me.
I think it's great! Totally worth it for me. It's still crazy that I can see without contacts or glasses now.
***** Were you awake during the surgery or under?
+Tom Lincoln You have to be awake during surgery because you have to stare at a light while they are working on your eye.
***** That sounds scary, but its worth it.
Ahh I guess the waiting game continues
My doctor made me do 1 eye at a time.
Hi. I'm having the similar problem as you did. I had PRK surgery done over 3 weeks ago, like about 23 days ago. My right eye is still very blur and it hasn't improved since the day of the surgery. It feels the same as how it was when I used to wear glasses. However, my left eye is doing really well and I can see clearly. I'm worried about my right eye. I also don't know whether it's normal or if something went wrong.
I felt the same way too. Make sure you keep talking to your surgeon about it, even if you feel like you're being annoying. Eventually my eyes evened out so I'm sure that will be your case too. But talking to your doctor and going in so he/she can look at your eyes is the best thing you can do! Hope it goes well :)
Faathima Dawood tell me your experience now. I have prk 24th September. I have little blurry in my right eye.... tell me what I have to do now?
I just love your accent 😅
