Double-vision scare
I was walking to work today, exactly one week since the procedure, and I noticed that things were not quite in focus.
After a bit of experimenting, I found that my left eye was pretty good, but that my right eye had a double-image of everything, sort of like this:

I was worried that I might have rubbed my eye and moved my flap, so I called my assigned Optometrist. She wasn't available, but I spoke to another who, as it happens, had LASIK 6 months previously.
I explained my vision and then she asked how long it has been since my procedure. On telling her that it had been one week, she had a little giggle and told me not to worry, since the eye is still healing. This made me a little upset since I felt my problem was not getting appropriate attention. We'll have to see how it goes.
