Frequently Asked Questions
When will I see the results of LASIK eye surgery?
Right after your LASIK eye surgery, you should start seeing things from a distance that wasn’t possible to see before. Initially, you can expect your eyesight to be hazy but your vision should normalize as it continues to heal and also improve within the first few days following the procedure. Your eyes may feel a mild stinging and/or be sensitive to light after the procedure, but this is a normal condition that we see with most of our patients.
We recommend our patients to rest their eyes for a few hours. Within 5 to 6 hours, they will be feeling relatively comfortable with their eyesight.
How long does LASIK take?
Although laser eye surgery may slightly vary depending on the patient’s eye prescription and the amount of vision correction required, it usually takes around 10 to 15 minutes per eye.
When can I return back to work after having LASIK?
It depends on your occupation. Certain professions such as dentistry or surgical specialties that demand good eyesight may be challenging to perform for up to 2 or 3 days following the surgery. However, most of our patients generally return back to work the next day.
If my eyesight is corrected for distance, will I lose my ability to see up-close?
You can expect clear overall vision after you have undergone LASIK for correcting distance vision. However, if you’re over 40, certain images or written texts close to you may not appear as clear after having LASIK refractive surgery. Patients in their 40s or 50s may need reading glasses for up-close work.
After the procedure, how long will it take to achieve my best vision?
Fast visual recovery characterizes this operation. Most of our patients achieve good vision within a day following their refractive surgery. However, vision can continue to improve and best vision can still take two to three months to occur, particularly with higher prescriptions.
