Hi Deb, I have had lazer eye surgery done to correct vision a few years ago, after the stuff that the eye surgeon give me started to wear off, it got pretty painfull on the way home only because one of the staff neglected to give me pain meds when leaving the surgery, i did get some the next day but if nerves didn't heal wouldn't the eye be still painfull ?

Hi well I have eye problems and pain that some who have had problems with lasik have. The pain I experience with my eyes I really caution you about lasik. Though for many it is safe some have horrible side effects that don't go away. Think of your nerve pain you in your eyes plus so dry you can't open them in the morning. The eyes can have me in crying pain. I don't know about the actual healing. I will say I have seen 10 eye specialists through my condition and many seemed to know little about nerves. One asked me what RSD was. I don't know about the healing of eye nerves though
Fish oil and flax was suggested by the doctors like Mrs D said to help with the dryness. Can't say I feel a difference but can't hurt I guess.
Sorry to sound negative just concerned.

Daniella, I am not having lasik, not even remotely thinking about it. I work for an optometrist, we had a patient being evaluated for lasik, that's how the discussion started. My poorest vision is presbyiopia, meaning I can't read without glasses. Lasik only corrects distance vision...so no worries.

The portion of the discussion I wasn't agreeing with was the optician saying nerves NEVER heal. I know they can..he's stubborn though, and probably will never admit I know what I am talking about!

I can say is ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - j


Hummm? Can I lend you a cane?
