Hi,

I had wavefront-guided LASIK about 8 months ago and sometimes my left
eye goes blurred.
I'm pretty sure it's just a bit of dry-eye. I take flax-seed oil and
that helps somewhat.

Can anyone tell me if there is a time after which the dryness will go
(presumably after the nerves regenerate) or have I passed that already?

Thanks,

Ed.

Could be dryness, could be something else. Dryness should be gone by
now, but unfortunately, sometimes lingers on and on. Are you using any
lubricating drops?

I recommend asking your eye doctor about punctal occlusion, and
Restasis for the dry eye. There is no way of telling how long dry eye
will last.
