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.
Can I drive home after the procedure?
No, you should arrange for someone to transport you. You should not
drive for at least 24 hours after the surgery, possibly longer.
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 refractive patients still may benefit
from reading glasses or distance glasses when they desire perfect
near or distance vision.
Do I need to come back for follow up visits?
Yes, there are 5 required visits after your procedure. The schedule is:
- 24 hours
- 1 to 2 weeks
- 1 month
- 3 months
