Hi there!
The answer is: it depends. Sometimes you are a little blurry for a couple of days after Lasik and that could be normal . But if it is longer than that or the blurriness is significant please see your eye surgeon. You may have something that requires attention or it could a simple matter of needing a touch up.
Good luck !

It depends on how long after LASIK your vision is blurry If you were seeing clearly and now it has become blurry there could be a problem . The flap could have folds in it and for this you need to see the doctor who performed the procedure , You need to do this as soon as you can to correct any problem that is causing you to be blurry.

It depends how long after LASIK. In the early phase, if it’s for a few days to possibly a week after the procedure, that’s not terribly unusual, although you should be carefully checked during this period. Beyond a week, you should have your eyes checked again if in doubt. In the later phase - months to years - you may experience regression with some loss of clarity.
