I had laser treatment on one eye on Wednesday morning. It was the early stages of some veins and there had been no bleeding my eye sight was fine prior to the laser. I was told at the time my eye sight should go back to normal within a day. Two days later the eye is still blurry long distance but is actually even slightly better than before close up. My real question was has anyone got experience with it taking a few days to get better etc? Also my eye kinda feels heavy still if that makes any sense?

It can take a few days for the eye to return to normal, if the eye aches after a week or so then its recommended that you see your gp and get some anti-inflammatory drops, if at all concerned then just get in touch with the Ophthalmology Dept.

Have a look around the following website, it has a wealth of information on diabetic retinopathy and other conditions of the eye:

Noblehead has given some advice., lasering can effect people differently,also the amount of laser shots given could also effect the healing process. Take care
 
Thanks, it's got better again today so hopefully it will improve again it's not really bad or anything and obviously is rather have the laser and have not as good vision than lose my eyesight in one eye. I fooled myself into thinking after the drops wore of and the blurred vision went i would be back to normal which is stupid on my part!

Took my eyes many weeks to gradually get back to more normal after laser. I find that they are now much more sensitive to changes in light/dark. Moving from one to the other means I temporarily can't see. Everyone is different though, and my retinopathy only got caught when it had already reached the proliferative stage.
