Hi! I had my Lasik done about nine months ago. I did it at the []Hospital in Damascus, Syria. It is one of the best places in that country. The doctor (Dr. [ZB]) was very experienced, and they used the Wavelight Allegretto but I don't know which flap cutting machine they used-it wasn't a laser though.
I have 20/15-clear, crisp vision, no halos or any other defects. So I'm very happy with my vision. But I sometimes feel a burning sensation in my left eye, especially when I'm right infront of an AC or when the wind is blowing in my face-like when I'm driving. Sometimes I get this burning type feeling in my right eye too. I live in Saudi Arabia-and it's very hot and dry here. I don't use any kind of eye drops because I don't want to get dependant on them.
What do you think causes a burning feeling in the eye-especially in one eye? Can it resolve by itself?
Finally is it really true that a Lasiked cornea with a flap is only 5% as strong as an unlasiked cornea? I mean isn't the flap only as thick as a sheet of typing paper? How could that cause corneal weakness? Thanks so much.
