LASIK problems- FLAP creased again
Sometimes I am asked if I regret LASIK eye surgery and if I could go back in time to undo it, would I?
Normally, I would respond in saying that it is not good to live in regret about choices already made in life because it will only make you miserable, but to make the best of what we are already given.
But if you would ask me today, I would take my healthy eyes back in a heartbeat. It would be nice to turn back time. I am sick of living like this, my eyes will never be healthy again.
Today, it felt like I was wearing dirty contacts. The flaps that the doctors cut to open my eye for surgery started creasing again. The first time this happened, I went to see the surgeon to help me. He told me that what I experienced was impossible. Hopeless, that's how it feels. My eyes were burning a bit. I am still dependent on artificial eye drops. Will this ever end? Probably not. They say your eyes only get drier with age. And apparently, if one day my flap does rip open, it will be as painful as child-bearing. No, I don't want this to ever happen, but I fear one day it will.
