My vision was -5 for both eyes. I had the LASIK eye surgery last Tuesday. And ever since my vision changed to -2.50 in one eye and the other is +2.50 .. Today is Saturday and I haven't seen any provement. So how long does it take to stabilize?

I was -4 in both eyes, just did the Ziemer all laser procedure 6 weeks ago. I had fluctuation for the first 5 weeks, but i was 20/25 and 20/15 (L/R) the day after. My eyes seemed to change from day to day, Until about a week ago.
For the last week it has been remarkably clear and no change. Your eyes are still swollen and healing. The first two weeks I had the most changes.
You should have a one week follow up. You need to discuss it with your doctor at that point, or on Monday when they open. Don't rub your eyes, use your drops, and wear your sunglasses.

I had LASIK almost 3 weeks ago and my vision is excellent at this point. I could see right away after the surgery. I went home after it and emptied the dishwasher and did some other stuff and then took a nap for an hour and then just relaxed. My biggest thing was for about 3 days after the surgery my up close vision was blurry and a lot of light bothered me. According to my doctor it takes about 3 months for your vision to stabilize, although mine is pretty stable right now. I can see 20/10 at this point, which I was about 20/40 before the surgery. I do everything as normal, but I make sure I wear sunglasses when I go outside if it seems light out so I don't damage my eyes. I luckily had my surgery over Christmas break and went out the day after I had it done. I would definately say that not everyone has the same results, but for about 98% of the people that have it, everything turns out great.
