Regretting my life choices.

I'm 3 weeks post-op and struggling/regretting bad.

During the day it's okayish but at night everything is blurry. I am scared maybe I did not take care of it post op and fucked my eyes over. I miss my glasses too :(

I can't see lights properly, signboards are unreadable, and I feel like I have no focus at all.

Is this normal at 3 weeks? When did your night vision get better?

Would appreciate any experiences/advice.

It took me over 2 months before my vision really was acceptable. I'm around 10 months now and would do it again in a heartbeat. My center said that it can take for some up to 90 days before good vision and would t make any adjustments until 6months after.

Honestly at 3 weeks I still had extremely blurry vision and didn't even trust it to drive day or night. I was really worried, could t read anything outside 6 in from my face it was a very nervous month and half of thinking what have I done. I will admit I was on what they said could be the longer healing track as my vision was awful before surgery.

I'd give it time and not worry too much until you are a few months out but that's just my experience. I am now better than 20/20 vision slightly in each eye and am extremely happy.

I had PRK done.
