I am almost 3 months post-ops and things have been odd.
I'm 24 and I had a prescription of -2 and -2.25. Not bad really.
At first, it seemed every week or so something new happened to my eyesight. When I first got Lasik, I used to get headaches, had trouble focusing my vision and random blurriness. That is all gone now lucky but it took a couple months.
I still have halos and starbursts on lights at night. I was wonder if there was a way to tell how much is what I'm supposed to see and how much is not. Some lights appear to be getting better while others are not. I don't know how much is in my mind of it getting better.
Now I am noticing new stuff and its troubling me.
Two weeks ago the floaters and flashers came along. At first floaters did not bother me much but I feel I am noticing more of them now. Like ten in each eye with 3 rather dark ones. The flashers come or appear visible mostly at night and really bother me. Lots of pinpoint white and bluish lights occurring randomly and alone. I never noticed these before ever.
Another strange light problem is last week, one night before I went to sleep, I turned off the light in my room while keeping some of the door open. The bright hall light was on the outside. While looking at the lit doorway, I see this purplish circle occurring around the door. They are larger and one for each eye. The circle light stays for a couple seconds then fizzles out. If I move my eye and come back it, the purple light circle returns. It scared me a lot.
I told the optometrist that works with the lasik surgeon about this stuff. My vision is good, no blurrying and I can see 20/10 in both eyes. So he says my floaters and flashers are things I am just noticing now that my vision is good. That lasik surgery only touches outside of the eyes, not the inside. But I find it hard to believe because I have so many floaters now. He says for the purple circle that would be something wrong with my retina and to go see a retina specialist if I am really worried. He was not too concerned because I can see so well. I have an appointment with an ophthalmologist for Saturday.
This morning, when it was still dark out, I turn off my light in the hallway while staring at my cat. When I turn off the light, I see still my cat in a white outline. Very strange!
Please help and let me know if I should be concerned and continue to go to the ophthalmologist. Some times I feel like crying, I'm rather afraid to a detached retina or something horrible. It actually really helps to type this all out too. Thanks.
