I went for my 4th month eye check up today, which is 4 months after my Epi-lasik procedure.
I’d been having relatively clear sight for the past month or so, but in the last 2 weeks, I’d been having bad nights which does affect the condition of your eye. So, I wasn’t too surprised when I was told that my present eyesight was:-
Right eye: short-sightedness 75
Left eye: Astigmatism 50
Otherwise, my eyes were doing ok. The consultant kept warning me that epilasik takes longer to heal and I had to expect a 6 month recovery period.
To be perfectly honest, coming from someone with near 900 shortsight in both eyes, having some residual short-sightedness is nothing! I can function on a day to day basis, which is good enough for me.
I still have some dry eyes, so lubricating eye drops are still the order of the day. Otherwise, I’m doing ok and am due back for another check up next month. Woohoo!

I have almost the same eyesight degree..
Almost 1000 on each eye.
I had epi-lasik 10 days ago and have the same experience. There’s not much out there to tell us what to expect so thank you very much for your blog!!
This blog was very helpful when I was getting ready for my surgery. It’s been 3.5 months now and I’m so glad I went ahead with it. But as a patient you really have no idea what to expect. It took 2 full months for my vision to recover, and I couldn’t read a book for the first month after surgery. Anyone who’s had it done recently should not get discouraged for the first few months after surgery.
