I completely forgot Id had it done (i got LASIK done yesterday) and I just rubbed me eye a bit. It feels ok, would I know if I had knocked anything out of place?
Answer:
You are not always aware of a displaced flap. In severe cases your vision will become noticeably blurred or painful, but in others you may have fine striae which don't immediately impede your vision. The flap edge might also have been moved which breaks the immediate seal (greater risk of infection), again not necessarily problematic now, but opens the door for epithelial in-growth later on.
It is ideal to get yourself back to the clinic as soon as possible to assess if any damage has been done. With any form of striae or wrinkles etc, the quicker the flap is re-floated the less likely one is to suffer long term irreparable damage.
You might have done no damage at all, but the first week is critical to your outcome - I wouldn't chance things.
Answer:
I had it done about 10/12 yrs ago and when they did the 2nd eye i blinked even with the clamp on. Just tried so hard that my lid must have turned inside out and moved the top layer of my eye, and Oh My God did it hurt! It was unbearably painful and they’d to do it again. After that it was never the same as my other one. So yes you'll be fine, if you dislodge it, it'll be very very painful!
It's the best thing i've ever done though. (not blinking at that moment, but getting my eyes lasered)
Answer:
Calling your doctor is your ideal bet. Why oh why do people get surgeries done on fridays? If you can not call the physician the next day, you should have scheduled it during the week. Most doctors that do surgeries on fridays accept calls on the weekends. CALL>
Answer:
I think you really need to talk to someone at the clinic.
how does the sight seem? Am most interested in getting this done myself.
