Will LASIK give me near perfect vision and if so how long after surgery can I expect that kind of vision?

I have just had lasik 2 days ago with the best stuff the hospital could offer. that includes intralase, wavefront etc. and it was performed by the best doctor available. the doctor says I can achieve near perfect vision, but now 2 days has passed and I’m getting worried because my vision is not perfect, but is definitely much better than before. I talked to him yesterday and he said it should be better in a week, but judging from the fact that my eyesight has not improved from yesterday to today i’m not sure if it’s going to get any better tomorrow. What kind of vision do people normally get After Lasik? and how long does it take to get the final level of vision after the surgery? Thank you!

Hopefully this will make you feel a little better. I had lasik done 2 months ago. For the first week or so I had blurry “walking through fog” vision. I could see better than before surgery, but not great. Additionally, I couldn’t see anything up close (like serial numbers on equipment, etc). I also had CRAZY dry eyes – like had to use the drops every 15-30 minutes. The doctor kept telling me to give it time.
Well, he was right. About 2 weeks after surgery the fog was gone, my near vision was improved (could now read the serial numbers), oh and the light sensitivity was improving. Each week (not really daily) I was noticing improvement. Today I went for my 2 month check up, I have 20/15 vision.
I use the drops when I wake up and maybe a couple times during the day (only at work where I stare at a monitor 9 hours a day). The light sensitivity is gone. I don’t see halos around head lights anymore, etc, etc, etc. In other words all of the immediate side effects of the surgery are gone and I CAN SEE!
I know you have probably heard this a million times, but give it time. Only two days in (well three days since you asked this yesterday) your eyes have a lot of healing to do.
It’s scary to think you might have made a mistake (I felt so), but if your doctor says everything went well, try not to worry!
