5 Days Post LASIK — Eyes Feel “Off” and It’s Giving Me Anxiety
Hey everyone, I’m currently 5 days post-LASIK and I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety about my vision.
My initial prescription was a -6 in the right eye and -5 in the left
My vision seems mostly clear overall besides the halos/glare, but something just feels *off*. A lot of the time it feels like I’m looking through one eye more than both together, and my right eye seems slightly blurry most of the time. I also keep feeling kind of cross-eyed or like my eyes aren’t working together properly.
Reading is especially weird — when I try to read a book or focus on text up close, it feels like my vision starts doing strange things and I become super aware of my eyes. It’s hard to describe, but it almost feels like my brain/eyes aren’t syncing correctly.
I know I’m still very early in recovery, but my anxiety has been pretty high and I keep worrying something is wrong. Did anyone else experience this during the first week or two after LASIK? Did it improve over time?
Would really appreciate hearing other people’s experiences.
