Hello Everyone,
I got LASIK two years ago. Things were fine for the first year.
In the last 8 months, everything started to get worse every day. I've tried so many things. Nothing is working. I don't know what the "root cause" of my issues are.
I am starting to lose hope. Hoping you can help find out what the "root cause" may be.
Really, truly appreciate any help you may be able to provide. Thank you, everyone!
Symptoms:
- redness
- pain
- soreness
- scratchy
- halos
- starbursts
- streaks and streams underneath lights or things that reflect light at night or under dim conditions are getting bigger and longer everyday (these disappear and re-appear within a second with every blink)
- floaters
What doctors/tests said:
- I have dry eyes
- Schirmer's test: <1
- TBUT: <5
- Oil glands are working fine
- I have high order aberrations (coma) but visual symptoms are "100%" due to tear film issues
What I tried/am doing:
- Lipiflow
- warm compress x 2 (daily)
- Restasis x 2-4 (daily)
- All sorts of OTC preservative-free drops x 2-10 (daily)
- Ocunox nighttime ointment (daily)
- Castor oil
- Desktop humidifier
- Home humidifiers
- Nighttime masks
- Airtight sunglasses
