Is Lasik Surgery Safe After Pregnancy?

Lasik surgery is one of the potential ways to get rid of glasses and contact lenses. Lasik or Laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis is essentially a microsurgery, performed to reshape the cornea and correct common vision problems like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. What this Lasik surgery costs is absolutely worth it if we look at the benefits it offers. Undoubtedly this vision correction approach has improved millions of lives, however, it's vital to know that it brings in exceptions too such as pregnancy. Keep reading to explore why Lasik eye surgery can be an unfavorable incident for pregnancy and whether a LASIK surgery can be safe after pregnancy

Eye heaviness in morning after cataract surgery

Cataract surgery is the most common operation on the human body. It has a high success rate and produces satisfying results for both patients and clinicians. Some patients may experience little discomfort following cataract surgery. It might range from mild to considerable discomfort depending on the patient's sensitivity and the type of cataract removal method employed. Cataract surgery has evolved into a low-risk refractive treatment. In cataract surgery, an incision over the cornea (the front transparent region of the eye) is necessary to gain admission within the eye and access to the lens to be replaced. This incision disrupts several connections between neurons and nerves in that area of the cornea. Such incisions may create discomfort in the patient. Healing in this area can provide unusual sensations. Though superficial healing happens in 5 to 7 days, the ultimate healing reaction occurs on a cellular level for 3 months. This can also have an impact on tear secretion. If a patient already suffers from dry eyes syndrome, surgery may cause further difficulty. Although there is minimal inflammation inside the eyes following cataract surgery or other intra-ocular surgery, this inflammation might cause discomfort. Although the frequency of inflammation is relatively low with modern cataract surgery, pre-existing inflammatory conditions such as anterior uveitis, glaucoma, and dry eyes can cause further irritation and discomfort. Following cataract surgery, a few eye drops must be given. Patients with disorders such as glaucoma, for example, would need to use significantly more eye drops after cataract surgery. Because of the preservatives in the eye drops, this can cause considerable discomfort. In such cases, preservative-free drops are important, and drops should be used according to the doctor's instructions rather than according to personal preference. Patients with particular diseases, such as diabetes, Fuch's dystrophy, recurrent corneal erosion syndrome, and LSCD, may experience severe eye discomfort after cataract surgery due to unusual corneal innervation, weak corneal structure, and altered healing response.

Why do I see wavy lines after cataract surgery?

There are many reasons behind such a usual phenomenon after undergoing a cataract surgery. These discomforts such as wavy lines, blurry vision, and haziness persist for some days or even a couple of months after surgery.  
The possible reasons are neural adaptations (brain adjusting with the new lens), presence of Epiretinal membrane, and reduction in contrast sensitivity, which are common in patients with multifocal intraocular lens (IOL). All these post-cataract surgery symptoms are termed as dysphotopsia.
However, 3 major factors contributing to the wavy vision are as follows: 1. Cystoid Macular Edema involves swelling of the centre of the retina known as the macula. This mostly happens after cataract removal, which is a post-operative inflammation. This causes the blood vessels in the macula to swell and leak fluid, making straight lines appear wavy 2. Dislocation of the Intraocular lens that you have surgically placed can lead to such vision distortion 3. Retinal detachment, as just after the cataract surgery the tissue from the surrounding sides of the retina pulls away from it. The retinal tissue is responsible for processing the light.
