Hi. Just a quick thank you to Rebecca and all of you on this forum. I've been a silent visitor for the past month & have been impressed with everyone's support for each other and all the words of encouragement.
My story... 39 yo female had lasik 11 weeks ago. It's been a frustrating experience. I came out with an undercorrection and my dry eyes has been getting worse. My current routine is restasis 2x day, oasis tearsplus 4x day or as needed, refresh PM, sleep with eye mask, was taking Theratears supplements but switched to BioTears last week and just started doxy this week. Also, just started doing rice bag warm compresses 2x day 10min followed by lid hygiene&massage. I also have 4 plugs in place. I feel as though my surgeon is sympathetic and accomodating. She has been seeing me every 2 weeks and monitoring my dry eyes and visual fluctuations. At this point, I will not see her for another month. It gets tiring to hear the same thing every appt. So, I now have pretty bad dry eyes and still wear glasses for distance and nighttime.
It seems that others have similar experiences to me. I understand that the first year post lasik is rough and I feel like I am taking a beating. I am currently in therapy as well for the past month because this has really taken a toll on me. Anyway, any words of wisdom would be great.
