Before LASIK Surgery
- How long does the LASIK procedure take? The surgery itself typically takes about 10-15 minutes per eye.
- Is LASIK surgery painful? LASIK eye surgery is not painful. Right before your procedure, your surgeon will place numbing eye drops into both of your eyes. While you may still feel a little bit of pressure during the procedure, you won't feel any pain.
- What should I expect during the LASIK procedure? You’ll be awake during the surgery but may be given a mild sedative. The surgeon will use a laser to reshape your cornea while you focus on a light.
- What should I do to prepare for LASIK surgery? Avoid wearing contact lenses for at least two weeks before the surgery, follow any specific instructions from your doctor, and arrange for someone to drive you home afterward.
- How soon can I return to normal activities after LASIK? Many patients experience clearer vision within a day and can resume normal activities within 24-48 hours, though it's recommended to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks.
After LASIK Surgery
- How soon will I see results after LASIK? Most patients notice improved vision within a few hours or the day after surgery. Full stabilization of vision can take a few weeks.
- Is it normal to experience discomfort after the surgery? Mild discomfort, such as a gritty feeling or dry eyes, is common. These symptoms typically improve within a few days.
- Are there any post-surgery restrictions? You’ll be asked to avoid rubbing your eyes, swimming, or wearing makeup for a few weeks. Sunglasses may be recommended to protect your eyes from sunlight and wind.
- How long do the results of LASIK last? The results are typically permanent, but your vision may change over time due to aging.
- What should I do if I experience vision problems after surgery? If you notice significant vision problems, like blurred or fluctuating vision, contact your surgeon immediately.
- Will I still need glasses or contact lenses after LASIK? Most patients no longer need corrective lenses, but some may need reading glasses later in life due to age-related changes in vision.
- How often do I need follow-up appointments after LASIK? Typically, follow-up visits are scheduled for the first day, one week, one month, and six months after surgery, but your doctor will provide personalized recommendations.
