Pregnancy and LASEK eye surgery

I've been trying to conceive for few months now and I'm kinda positive that february is going to be our month!
If I'm pregnant my due date will be February 28th 2009.

Anyway, I had a LASEK eye surgery done on my right eye last thursday (June 11th) and the left one will be done in next week (June 25th).
I didn't really think about my maybe pregnancy when I booked the appointment and had my right eye done. Because you only get a sedative and few drops I didn't think it would be big deal.
I took a pregnancy test this morning (CD 24) and it was negative, but it's obviously too early to test.

Have any of you had a LASEK eye surgery and been few weeks pregnant. I should know if I'm really pregnant before my left eye will be done and of course I'll tell the doctor if I am.
But I really don't want to put of having my left eye fixed since it's really annoying to see clearly with one eye and bad with the other!

So, does anyone have any experience of pregnancy and LASEK eye surgery?

Hi -


I had LASIK eye surgery done about a year and a half ago. I only did my right eye. I was not pregnant at the time but we were thinking about it. I spoke to my dr about it and he said it is best to wait awhile to try to get pregnant. The hormones that are produced during pregnancy can effect your results. So if you are not pregnant already I would discuss this with your dr. You don't want to waste all of that money.


GL,
