Laser Eye Surgery: Common Questions and Concerns

• How Does it Work? – A laser is used to create a flap in the cornea, and then another laser is used to reshape the cornea and correct your vision. Topical anesthesia is used so most patients feel nothing but mild pressure during surgery.
• Who is a Good Candidate? – Patients must be 18 years old, in good overall health, and not have any eye diseases. The right candidates will have had a stable prescription for the past year.
• Is it Painful? – Anesthesia will be used to numb the eye. While the procedure sounds very painful, patients only experience mild discomfort that is typically described as pressure on the eye.
• How Long is Recovery? – Patients can go home the same day as their surgery, though they may feel more comfortable if they arrange to have someone drive them home. Most patients are cleared for driving, and can return to work the next day. Some blurred vision may be experienced during the first few days or weeks following the procedure. Your doctor will work with you to monitor your vision and ensure there is no discomfort or issues. Wear protective sunglasses and take precautions to allow your eyes to fully heal.
• What Else Should I Know? – Patients will be required to forego wearing contact lenses for a period of time before the procedure. Talk to your doctor about the length of time required.
