Lasik after sleeve

[nursejenny07 401]

I have strongly been considering LASIK eye surgery for a long time and have saved up the money to have it done. I'm scheduled for my sleeve in just over two weeks, and I'm wondering if the extreme weight loss could effect my vision at all. Maybe a silly question, but I wonder if somehow the weight loss changes your prescription, for better or worse. If it doesn't effect it at all, I may look at having LASIK done during the four weeks I'm off for the sleeve, since I'm already out of work. If it does change it, I may need to weight quite a while until I get closer to goal. Anyone have any info or insight on this? I plan to ask my surgeon as well, but often find all the answers here in these boards! Thanks for all the help!

I'm almost 5 months post op & do feel my vision is different. I'm also over 40 so not sure if related to surgery or age! Good luck!

I am five months out and now considering going in for a new prescription. I have far sightedness and astigmatism and everything past the front of my car is out of focus. Makes driving fun. I'm reading on the forums this is very common. If it were me I would wait cause it would be awful to have to get it done twice. Good luck!
