My vision is great (near 20/20 in both eyes). My eyes are still a little dry, especially in the evenings but have improved significantly. I have had pain in one eye every since the surgery that feels different than the dry eyes. It only hurts when air is blowing into my eye (even when walking down the hallway at work). The only way I can describe it is that it feels like I have a nerve ending exposed to the air. When I had the surgery, I experienced pain in the same eye when the flap was cut making it very difficult not to try to close my eyes. My eye doctor (different from the laser surgeon) has been following me closely and has done the eye staining twice (the first time stained a little which he thought might have meant a particle under the flap, the second time there was no staining) and he tried putting me on steroid drops for a week which did not help, and he says the flaps looks great. He is continuing to monitor my progress with frequent exams. Is it possible there is an exposed nerve? If so, is there anything that can be done or will it eventually heal? Thanks!
