When you get lasik eye surgery are your eyes really sensative to light afterward?

Thats what someone told me that happened. How long does your eyes stay sensitive to light until you are back to normal again..just with better eye sight. Thankyou for any help.

Hi Rebeca, I had Lasik last summer and there are only two longterm effects I can share with you. One is that you will have dry eyes for several months, it doesn't hurt but you will want to use a good eye lubricant like Systane several times a day. I don't have to use any drops for dry eye now. The second thing is I do notice that if I go from dim light to extremely bright light, the glare does bother me more than before Lasik. It's no big deal at all, but I've noticed it. But hey, I have lots of cool sunglasses now! :-) I am absolutely thrilled with my Lasik and recommend it highly. I wore glasses or contacts every single day from the age of 8 and now I don't need anything. I just realized you might have been talking about right after the surgery and yes, your eyes will be extremely sensitive to light for a few hours after the surgery. They will give you ugly sunglasses or you can take your own nice ones!Best of luck to you!

Yes, they can be very sensitive to light and one should always bring sunglasses with so their eyes don't burn once you get outside again.This sensitivity will go down over a period of about 6 hours. Its nothing permanent and nothing out of the ordinary, nor something to be worried about.

Yes they become very much sensitie. But before you go for lasik try to consult with a opthalmologist and ask him if you are suitable for the test. You can test it free online also.To know more you can visit http://www.lasikpoint.blogspot.com
