I got serious astigmatism after the lasik surgery?Kitty
I got serious astigmatism after the lasik surgery, not right after the surgery but gradually getting worse, image can be well recognized but with a cluster of gleam around, and the deepness of real image is slightly lightened, I didn't pay attention to it first but afterwards the symptom is getting worse, I don't know what the problem is, I do read a lot and face computer everyday, but before I got the surgery my eyes keep in the steady state since 5 years ago without getting worse, so I wanna find the reason. I wonder if it is because when I study, when I concentrate, I unconsciously strain my eyes, which strain the cornea causing the deformation of cornea (the cornea is thinner than before for it's cut by lasik surgery) . So the cornea is becoming thinner and thinner, it's suppose to be very dangerous if the cornea become thinner, which is what I concern about, I wish I could stop the diaster but the situation is still getting worse, can somebody help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

You situation is complex and although this forum is execllent to provide answers to a question, you have multiple questions about multiple symptoms that may have multiple causes. I suggest you visit this Lasik patient forum where a more conversational exchange may take place. http://www.usaeyes.org/ask-lasik-expert/

dont have too much sex and dont pleasure yourself more than 2-3 times a week that can make your eyes go bad the latter being the more common way to weaken your eyes.also i would reccomend seeing a doctor u may need a second lasik surgery

"image can be well recognized but with a cluster of gleam around, and the deepness of real image is slightly lightened, "This could mean astigmatism but it doesn't have to.A loss of corneal transparency, with glare and loss of contrast would also match the symptoms.Astigmatism isn't made worse by use, so if that is the main problem, supplementary spectacles for demanding activities. may be sufficient. Supplementary laser treatment might be an option. That would have to be discussed with the surgeon. Another possibility, though, is infiltration of epithelial cells under the Lasik flap. This is a relatively rare complication producing varying degrees of cloudiness and irregular vision. Corrective treatment is usually available.It is certainly essential for you to be examined to have the nature and extent of your loss of vison determined.

How long ago did you have LASIK? Sometimes astigmatism happens during the healing process and then clears later.Have you returned to the surgeon and asked about the problem? Reading etc does not cause astigmatism; you need to see your eye doctor again.
