Lasik Eye Surgery

• Lasik Eye Surgery commonly referred to as laser
  eye surgery or laser vision correction, is a type
  of refractive surgery for the correction of
  myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The LASIK
  surgery is performed by an ophthalmologist who
  uses a laser or microkeratome to reshape the
  eye's cornea in order to improve visual acuity.
  For most people, LASIK provides a long-lasting
  alternative to eyeglasses or contact lenses

FAQs of Lasik Eye Surgery Is the LASIK
procedure painful ?

• In most cases, PRK and LASIK does not hurt during
  or immediately after the procedure. Before
  your LASIK eye surgery begins, numbing eye drops
  are used to alleviate any pain or discomfort to
  the eye during the procedure. LASIK does not
  hurt during the procedure, however you may feel
  some pressure on your eyes.

5
Is the laser eye surgery safe ?

• Laser eye surgery risks. As with any other
  medical procedure, laser vision correction
  carries some risk of complications. However, it
  is very rare for these to be serious, and it is
  reassuring to know that there has never been a
  case of permanent blindness reported with the
  all-laser LASIK techniques used at Ultralase.

6
Is Lasik eye surgery permanent?

• In most cases the improved vision LASIK surgery
  provides is permanent. But in a limited number of
  cases usually due to changes that can occur in
  the lens inside the eye, with or without LASIK
  surgery some nearsightedness, farsightedness
  and/or astigmatism can return over time, causing
  blurry vision.

7
How long does it take to have laser eye surgery?

• The actual procedure usually takes less than 10
  minutes per eye. Depending on your prescription,
  and the amount of correction needed, the laser
  itself only takes 20-50 seconds to correct your
  vision. However, you should plan on being in the
  office for approximately an hour-and-a-half on
  your day of surgery.

Can you drink alcohol

  turkey for too longin fact, you can be back
  drinking alcohol the day after Laser Eye Surgery.
  In terms of drinking alcohol in the days prior to
  your procedure, sticking to your usually intake
  shouldn't be a problem at all.

Can I watch TV after Lasik eye surgery

• You can read and watch TV as long as you avoid
  letting your eyes dry out. LASIK patients tend to
  return to work, but you should keep your eyes
  well lubricated with artificial tears (staring at
  computer screens can dry your eyes). This does
  not affect the outcome, but can cause temporary
  visual fluctuations.

11
Can you work out after Lasik eye surgery?

• Do not drive until you have been examined by your
  eye doctor the day after surgery. You may begin
  exercising 2 days after your surgery, but make
  sure to use eye protection if playing sports. We
  prefer you avoid public gyms for hygiene purposes
  for one week during LASIK recovery.

12
Can you drive after Lasik eye surgery?

• Most patients will be able to drive the day after
  surgery. Here, at London Vision Clinic, 98 of
  our patients are up to the legal driving standard
  or better on the first day after surgery. ... The
  surgeon may recommend that you wait a day or two
  before you drive, until your sight becomes
  completely stable.
