lasik & seizures
Funny you should bring that up.... before my laser eye surgery I didn't have a lot of eye symptoms. some, but I chocked them up to migraines. Now, after the surgery, my left eye focuses in and out. And sometimes objects look close, then far away, then close, then far away. It's like living in Alice in
Wonderland. I really didn't relate this to the lasik, but who knows.

Wow... I asked this question almost four years ago!
I was interested because Stacy wanted to get corrective eye surgery done and I was seeking some feedback to help determine if it might be a potential problem (or benefit). Stacy had the surgery done years ago and I can't really say that it had any effect on her seizure activity at all.

Bernard, I'm glad it worked out for Stacy~!
I have no idea whether the eye surgery affected me, because correlation doesn't mean causation. Just because I'm getting some weird vision symptoms now doesn't mean the surgery caused them. Good things: I do know that now I can see the clock when I wake up, take walks in the rain without glasses, see the lane when I swim, and snorkle without a corrective dive mask, all of which is great!
It's amazing, isn't it, that you can post something 4 years ago and it touched a chord in someone after all this time. Just shows that words live on.

My Dad had it done several times because of diabetes. He almost totally lost his sight but got it back before he passed on. My mom had it done in one eye and it was no problem.
