Commonly Asked Questions:

How soon after surgery will I see well?
Each patient is different. Most patients experience a dramatic improvement 8 to 10 hours after the treatment.

Will refractive surgery hurt?
During the procedure, a strong topical anesthetic is used to numb the eye. Generally, only pressure is felt during the procedure.

Will I still need my glasses or contacts?
The goal of refractive surgery is to reduce your dependence on glasses and/or contact lenses, but LASIK patients still may benefit from reading glasses or distance glasses when they desire perfect near or distance vision.
