Sorry for the long rant. I had Lasik surgery done at the end of January. I went into expectations that I was going to be at work the next day and fully recovered in 48 hours. I have a twin sister who had the surgery done 6 years ago and woke up the next time feeling great. Why would I think I would have any problems, if my sister didn't.
I went into the procedure somewhat naive - thinking everything was going to be fine. I am so mad at myself sometimes that maybe I didn't research it enough and understand my risks. I have a dozen of friends who had Lasik and never had any problems and told me it was the best thing they ever did.
Why is it some recover in a couple of days and for some of us it takes a very long time, and dry eyes become more severe? I have explored many underlying conditions from Sjorens, thryoid, hormones, and they have all come back normal.
I remember right before going any surgery my husband asked me what I was doing this -why would I want to mess with my eyes. This comment continues to haunt me everyday. Everyday my daughters pray that mommy's eye get better.
I am afraid to committ to any social activities, work conferences, vacation as I don't know how my eyes will do. I know so many of you on the forums are in the same boat. I am just beyond frusterated and need to vent.
I thank Rebecca for starting this forum as a place to communicate with others going through the same issues.
