5 years after Lasik - BLurry vision?

[Meekame]

I had lasik eye surgery done over 5 years ago by Bochner Eye Institute in T.O.
I am 33 years old and for the past 5 years I have always been amazed how crisp and clear my vision has been. Before the surgery my prescription was -10.5 and -11....so quite bad!! I had 20/20 all these years and suddenly a few weeks ago I noticed that day time vision was quite bad, hard to read road signs but even during the day I was having a hard time seeing around the plant/office etc....
Standing in an drug store the other day I tried on some of those "standard" glasses that the weakest was +1.0 and well, it made my vision look worse, like it was way too strong...so I am not talking a big change...just a noticeable blurring?
I am not so sure that it is the result of the surgery since the last 5 years have almost been perfect and this change seemed quite sudden. Anyone have any advice, vitamins, holistic ideas that may help eye growth. I have been under an extreme amount of stress the past 6 months due to personal reasons, and I even wonder if that may have something to do with it. I am quite big into the gym and bodybuilding and try a variety of supplements. regularly on creatine, glutamine, multi-vitamins and thermogens....
Just looking for any advice...
Thanks.

I think you should see doctor. You may have eye problem not related to Lasik at all.

hmm maybe u need more rest?,,,

there are many cases of nearsight or far sight coming back, at a faster rate after surgery, you should get your eyes tested again

Happened to my neighbor after about 3 years, he went back to the place he did it and they redid his eye. Doctor told him some laser eye surgery doesn't always work perfectly.

I had it done about 7 years ago and I notice some days my eyes are blurry as well but that's usually related to lack of sleep or just being tired. Never had that issue before. However, my vision has regressed a bit to -0.25.

Which type of laser eye surgery did you do? and at what age?

Has anybody gotten blind from this before?

Well I did call Bochner on Thursday and they have yet to call me back, I will get an appointment I am sure in a few weeks and drive from Cambridge to T.O. to do that....however in the mean time, while waiting, thought I would ask all the friendly eye doctors on RFD...(at least no one has told me to try poking them yet...lol)

:lol:

[WiZZLa]

do you pronounce Bochner like "botch" (sounds like botched-her) or is it more like "bok" (sounds like bok-ner?)

I heard you should wait until you're at least 25 years old to get this done...I want to get it done, but I'm going to wait a few more years first.

Is it common for this to happen to laser eye surgery patients?

[spygurl13]

geez this is scary. my friend was actually saying that sometimes her vision just goes and she cant see for a few seconds esp at night. never happened before her surgery tho

[Anessa]

do they redo it for free or you gotta fork out the money all over again?

[Meekame]

They do re-due it for free, I have an appointment now for Dec to have the doc look at them at likely do a touch up. I tried my wife's glasses which she only uses for night..they are .75 in strength and that seemed to correct it perfectly. So it appears that my prescription has slipped slightly for whatever reason. Aside from this, my vision has been clear and consistent for 5 years now! Would I do it again...yes....

the issue with night vision is very prelevant, I saw a few studies on that. I am taking a wait and see approach ;)

Common. Thats why most companies have some sort of warranty so that if your eyes go bad again they will do it again for free.

That's what my optometrist said.

Wouldn't it ruin your eye after having it redone so many times?

[ronny1980]

Probably.

They will check the perscription on your eyes and then check it again after a few months. If your eye sight did not get any worse then they will perform the surgery otherwise they will tell you to wait until your eye sight stabilizes.
