What Causes Vision Sensitivity To Light After Undergoing Lasik Eye Surgery?
I had lasik eye surgery 2 months ago and for 7 weeks was enjoying 20/20 vision. about a week and a half ago my eyes became very light sensitive so I saw my eye doctor. She prescribed an antibiotic eye drop which took away the light sensitivity but my vision has now regressed to 20/30 and 20/40.I am very concerned that I may be losing my vision. I have another appt at the eye doctor on wednesday but I am extremely worried. Any feedback as to what is happening?

Hello,
Light sensitivity after laser surgery can stay for few days to months. Laser surgery is not expected to reduce vision. I suggest you to consult your ophthalmologist for clinical assessment, relevant investigations and thus management.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
