Hello everyone .. I'm new here
I had intacs surgery 8 days ago in my Rt eye
My vesion is sooo much blurry
Exactly like this photo i attach
I wonder if this normal ?! ..I feel disappointed

Hello and welcome!
I haven't had Intacs so can only speak from what I've read and heard from others. We're all different in how long our eyes take to heal after surgery, and the vision can be blurry for a few weeks. So maybe it's just too early. Have you had a check up appointment yet at the hospital where you had it done? If not, do ask them about it. Most people will still need glasses or contact lenses after having Intacs fitted. Is your vision more blurry than it was before you had the surgery when you weren't wearing your contact lenses? I hope you'll find things improve over the next few weeks. But do come back and tell us how it's going.

Thnx for your reply Anne

So i'm asking for any similar experience

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Like Anne I haven’t had Intacs but trying to relate to my cross linking experience, just in case it helps, but in my left eye for a few weeks I couldn’t see anything well at all (like just over a metre away to read a registration plate!) but after that it slowly started to come back to pre surgery.

I would discuss it with your surgeon at your checkup and see what he says, they’ll likely check the positioning and such like, with adjustments possible if needed. It unfortunately isn’t a quick fix.

Hopefully someone will be along to give their own intacs experience but please let us know how you get on.

How did you get in with the appointment? I hope it helped and things are a bit easier now, even if just for some reassurance.
