Got LASIK 1 week ago; they did not tell me it was important to wear sunglasses after surgery, and if I don't it can lead to permanent haze and glare. I didn't wear sunglasses after surgery; I currently have pretty bad glare (tho still normal 1 week in). How fucked am I?

somewhat? The day after LASIK I ran 2 errands during daytime, was mostly in ubers staring out the window.

Don't panic. Do as the sage, reasonable Aella would, and get professional advice. You'll be alright lass.

I called the office where I got it done and it was a very unperturbed person with a strong accent who just neutrally repeated "you should wear sunglasses"

After my surgery, I was never told to wear sunglasses for any reason other than eyes may be light sensitive. If you have glare and haze, it's probably due to wrinkly cornea from squinting or rubbing. I was blurry in 1 eye for 2-3 months.

I experienced glare and occasional haziness weeks and even months after surgery.
