I got lasik done about a year back and now I am pregnant. Lately my vision feels slightly off and im worried pregnancy might mess up the results. Has anyone with lasik gone through pregnancy? Bit anxious honestly.
My mother-in-law told me not to strain my eyes during pregnancy, but I wanted to be sure about my Lasik. My doctor explained that fluid retention can temporarily affect vision, but it usually goes back to normal after delivery. Trust your doctor's advice.
I had Lasik a few years before getting pregnant, and my vision did get slightly blurry in the third trimester. But now that I am breastfeeding, it has mostly gone back to normal. It's just temporary hormonal changes, so don't worry.
It doesn't 'ruin' Lasik permanently, but yes, pregnancy hormones and water retention can cause temporary vision fluctuations. Don't rush to change your specs power right now. Just wait till a few months postpartum and things will settle.
Haha, pregnancy ruins our sleep and memory, but thankfully your expensive Lasik is safe! Your eyes might just feel a bit dry or slightly blurry due to hormones, so keep some doctor-approved lubricating drops handy.
Honestly, the only thing ruining my eyes right now is waking up every 2 hours to feed my baby! My pre-pregnancy Lasik is totally fine, though my eyes do feel dry from lack of sleep. Don't stress, your eyes will survive this.
I understand why you are worrying about this, pregnancy makes us stress over the smallest things! Hormones can temporarily change your eye shape or cause dry eyes, but it rarely ruins Lasik permanently. Talk to your ophthalmologist to ease your mind.
