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.

Benefits And Results

Six months after the CustomVue procedure, patients in a clinical study reported:

100% could see 20/40 or better
95.8% of non-astigmatic patients could see 20/20 or better
93.2% of astigmatic patients could see 20/20 or better
100% could pass a drivers test

One year after the CustomVue procedure, patients in a clinical study reported:

98% could see 20/20 or better
70% could see 20/16 or better
23% could see 20/12.5 or better
100% could pass a drivers test

In a clinical study, most patients got an improvement in night vision and overall quality of vision compared to wearing glasses or contacts (pre-op). 70% of eyes showed either a decrease in eye imperfections that cause poor night vision, halos, and glare, or no significant increase, while four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the CustomVue procedure compared to their night vision with glasses or contacts. In the figures below pre-op refers to glasses or contacts and 6 months refers to 6 months after Custom Vue Wavefront guided Ablation. Of the 85% of people who reported that they were very satisfied or satisfied, 44% were very satisfied.

One year after the CustomVue procedure, patients in a clinical study reported that there was an over all improvement in quality of vision:

Sharpness and clarity improved
Over all vision comfort improved
Consistency of vision improved
Less people were dissatisfied
More likely night vision will be improved
Less glare at night

In a clinical study, four times as many people were very satisfied with their night vision after the procedure as compared to their night vision before with glasses or contacts lenses. The photos on the left represent vision before the CustomVue procedure while in glasses and contacts and the photos on the on the right after the CustomVue procedure. The same vision quality differences can be represented for some people between -8.00 and -12.00 diopters having Conventional LASIK & PRK, and after the CustomVue procedure.
