Hi! A week ago I had PRK eye surgery done. I was -7.6 D in both eyes. In one eye things are going well and I can see great- but in the other things are very very blurred (also dubble.) I can hardly (/not) read in this eye.

Is it time to panic and regret the the choice or do I need to wait a lot longer?

This past Tuesday I had PRK laser eye surgery to correct my vision. They informed me that I should avoid television and the computer for 24 hours after the surgery but didn’t say anything about the days after that. I’ve been watching television and going on the computer for more and more time over the past 3 days. My eyes are no longer light sensitive and I can see fairly well – the only thing that is bothering me is the contacts that I have in my eyes to protect them (I’m getting them removed tomorrow ). My dad insisted I should start watching television more since it will strengthen my eyes and I’m wondering if he’s right?

Thanks for any responses!

After my LASIK, one of my eyes is extremely dry. The doctor told me on the follow-up that all the dry skin on the surface of the eye was causing my blurred vision. Apart from using eye drops A LOT (I’m a teacher, so I can’t just stop every hour or whatever to redo drops), is there something I can use to help my eye heal?
