Lasik Eye Correction

Has anyone had the eye surgery to take out floaters and afterwards your vision is distorted & lite sensitive?

I need to know if someone has had distorted vision and/or light really hurting your eyes after the surgery. If you have, what is it called and can an eye doctor fix it? I can't work, because I can't see. The eye doctors say they can't find anything in my eyes that are causing it? It seems doctors stick together on these things. Please help. Thank you I am very nearsighted, legally blind, i had the surgery to take out the floaters. Now my vision is distorted, like looking in a funhouse mirror, plus my eyes are so sensitive to light that I need to wear sunglasses. But they cut down my vision, so I can't do that. I'm 47 and a single mom. I can't work. It's awful. Has anyone had any bad results from the surgery that removes the floaters?

1. Vitrectomy for floaters would normally only be done if they are very severe as there is an inherent risk, though with a low percentage incidence, of both retinal detachment and macular problems as a consequence. That the risk was low is little comfort if it occurs in your particular case. It's impossible to say without examination, but it sounds as if you may have had a reactive macular oedema after the operation, which could well leave the vision "jazzy" even with best glasses. *If* that's what it is, sometimes that self-resolves after a few months, rarely laser therapy can help, often there is no active treatment. If dark glasses help, but sunglasses are too dark, glasses can be made with *any* depth of tint. Assessing both of these will need an eye doctor you can trust.
