After LASIK |
|
 |
Immediately after your LASIK procedure,
it is unlikely you will feel any pain. Some people
describe mild burning or itching for a couple of hours
after getting home, but we'll tell you about some
special "tricks" that usually reduce or eliminate even
these mild symptoms. The vast majority of our patients
report little or no discomfort at all following their
procedure. Your vision will likely be somewhat blurry
for the rest of the day of your procedure. The next
morning, however, most people wake up to a dramatic
improvement in vision.
You'll be asked to wear a clear plastic shield until
you're seen by Dr. Feldman the next day. You'll continue
to wear that shield during sleep for the first week
after the procedure. Eyedrops are usually prescribed for
a few days. You'll be asked not to rub the eye. You may
bathe and shower the next day, but you'll be asked to
avoid swimming or using hot tubs for the first 2 weeks.
Women are asked not to wear make-up for the first week.
Otherwise, there are no restrictions on your activities.
The doctor will generally see you on the day after your
procedure, about a week later, and a few weeks after
that. And at One to One LASIK™, those visits are usually
filled with lots of hugs and smiles!! |
