Blurry vision immediately after LASIK is completely normal. Your vision will be hazy for 4–6 hours post-surgery due to anaesthetic drops and initial healing. By the next morning, most patients have significantly improved vision.
Key Facts
- Hours 1–6: Vision blurry and hazy — this is expected and temporary
- Day 1 (next morning): Most patients see dramatically better
- Days 2–7: Vision continues to improve daily
- Week 2–4: Minor fluctuations (better in morning, slightly blurry at night)
- 1 month: Vision is typically at its final prescription
Guidelines & Tips
- Rest your eyes immediately after surgery — sleep if possible
- Do not drive until your Day 1 follow-up confirms your vision is safe
- Avoid reading or screens for the first 24 hours
- The blurriness is not damage — it is part of the normal healing process
- Night-time haloes and starbursts around lights normalise within 2–4 weeks
- If blurriness is severe or worsening after Day 3, contact your surgeon
