New member, dryness started 3 months after Lasik

[Marianne H]

I got Lasik in in early February 2015. It was part of my life plan to have it done before my 30’s (I’m 29) so to better enjoy my following projects such a special effects make-up and travelling. In the country I live, Lasik is mandatory to everyone wanting to get in the police force, and here was my...

I had lasik last september (7 months ago). Surgery was uneventful, custom aspherical programme using microkeratome was selected with a 6.6mm treatment zone. Been suffering from severe halos, glares and photosensitivity with little improvement since surgery. Unable to drive at night due to oncoming headlights...

Has this happened to anyone? Can it be irrigated out?

It's not an intracanicular style.

Hi all. I've had dry eyes since 2006 when I had LASIK eye surgery, the biggest regret of my life. I have very dry eyes post-LASIK and also have blepharitis. I've had punctal plugs since 2007. I've tried just about every eye drop, ointments, etc. The only thing that's really ever worked for me are Thera...

I'm 8 months post lasik and have been using Serum drops for about 1 month now. In the last couple weeks I've started developing a sensitivity to lights. It's been accompanied by a new type of pain that is similar to pressure on my eyeballs and different from the burning/grittiness/inflamed feeling...

Hi everyone,

I've found this forum in my efforts to relieve some of the symptoms of dry eye after my LASIK surgery in Sept 2013 (now March 2014). Prior to LASIK, I would occasionally get some dry eyes at night, but would only be once a month or something and it was never painful, but...

So I'm 9 months post-LASIK and have both my lowers plugged. For a month after getting them plugged, I was almost asymptomatic. The pain was reduced significantly. Now, my the pain in my right eye has come back, although not as severe as pre-plugs. My theory is that my tear production decreased after...

Since I developed DES, I can see an oily, wavy film wash over my cornea every time I blink. Has anyone else noticed this? I don't think it's visible in healthy eyes and I wonder what's causing it. After blinking and opening my eyes, a wave that starts from the bottom of my cornea travels in an upward...

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to share my current regimen and what has been helping me. I have AQD and MGD post-lasik (8 months). I have my lower puncta plugged (made the biggest difference) and use Restasis 2x day with 100% serum tears throughout the day. Warm compresses also really help....

Hi all

This is my first post on this forum. I was looking on the web hoping to shed some light on my symptoms and this post - http://www.dryeyezone.com/talk/showt...ight=sinusitis by rampage76 seemed to hit...

I feel as if I am bothering my ophthalmologist and my optometrist (actually he's a lot more than that) by asking them to help me get funding for Prose appliance fitting at Boston Foundation for Site.

the email sent to them is lacking.

It doesn't mention I went to another...

After 10 months of restasis, 6 months of doxy, 8 months of warm compresses + expression 3x a day for 15-20 min, 8 months of being quadra-plugged, and 3 months of serum my eyes still feel like crap.

What's most strange is after all this treatments my schrimer scores are worse than before...

By all accounts my dry eye should be a result of LASIK. After all, I was a middle-aged female with severe myopia and large pupils. But my refractive surgery experience was overwhelmingly positive. A few months of mild dry eye and my eyes healed perfectly without even needing the enhancement I was warned...
