Day After Lasik Surgery
Discomfort is very minimal during or after the procedure. It is normal to have a sensation of dryness or "tired eyes after surgery. This sensation diminishes with time. Some people will experience glare or haloes at night for a few weeks to months postoperatively which in most cases will disappear entirely over time. You will return for your first follow up visit the day after surgery. Your follow-up care is very important, and is included in the cost of your surgery for up to one year. On your follow-up visit you will be instructed on the use of eye drops and the care of your eyes and all your questions will be answered.
