LASIK / FAQs

I would hope that your doctor, who is reputable, would have clearly informed you that there is a healing period, more so with Custom Cornea. Your healing doesn’t seem very unusual. You should get better over time. Of course, you may need a touch-up, which should not be done usually before 3 months.
