Hi,

  What duration of time should be expected for
  lasik post-operative swelling of the corneas?
  Does the cornea change shape from the swelling?
  Does the swelling cause high order aberration?

Hi, Jim,

Any distortion of the cornea will change ray-path, and
aberrations.

Pretty obviously.  That's what swelling means.

Sounds like a scare tactic to me.

The duration of swelling is only temporary, and no it won't cause
"high order aberrations". Where did you hear this from?
