How long before I will feel results? You may feel improvement in your condition (usually pain reduction) after the very first treatment. Each treatment is cumulative and results are often felt after 2-4 sessions.

Laser resurfacing can decrease the appearance of fine lines in the face. It can also treat loss of skin tone and improve your complexion if you have scars or sun damage. Laser resurfacing can’t eliminate excessive or sagging skin.

Laser therapy is a safe and effective solution to relieving pain and healing the body without invasive surgery or potentially harmful medications. Over 4,000 studies demonstrate the positive effects of laser therapy, and it’s earned approval from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat a range of conditions.

If you have laser therapy, you may experience less pain, swelling, and scarring than with traditional surgery. However, laser therapy can be expensive and require repeated treatments….The risks for skin therapy include:

• bleeding.
• infection.
• pain.
• scarring.
• changes in skin color.

Good news is, LASIK eye surgery is not painful. Right before your procedure, your surgeon will place numbing eye drops into both of your eyes. While you may still feel a little bit of pressure during the procedure, you won’t feel any pain.

Total blindness – where you have no light perception – caused by laser eye surgery is extremely rare. The American Refractive Surgery Council states that no one has ever gone completely blind from laser eye surgery, with “inadequate aftercare” being the direct cause of any laser eye surgery-induced blindness.

It’s fine to watch TV after taking a nap following your LASIK procedure. However, smaller digital screens can irritate your eyes immediately after surgery.

What happens if I blink during the surgery? This can’t happen. Your surgeon will place a simple eye lid holder so that you cannot blink.

LASIK is unarguably the safest elective surgical procedure that is available today. More than 20 million LASIK procedures have been performed in the U.S., with extraordinary patient satisfaction results that exceeds 98%.

If you should sneeze or cough, the laser will wait or adjust its position to compensate. This technology means that sneezing—as well as coughing or any other involuntary movement—will not affect the result of your surgery.

You’ll be fully awake and conscious during the treatment, and the anaesthetic will make the process virtually pain free. The name laser eye surgery can be misleading as there’s no actual surgery involved.

If a patient has a very high level of myopia or hyperopia, LASIK or ASLA may not be recommended (e.g. level of myopia between -8 and -20 diopters).

Generally speaking, most LASIK eye surgeons agree on 25-40 as the ideal age range for LASIK eye surgery candidacy for a few reasons. By the age of 25, eyeglasses and contact lens prescriptions have most likely stabilized. A stable prescription is one of the hallmarks of a good LASIK candidate.

It’s okay to cry after LASIK. Whether your eyes are watery or you happen to cry for an emotional reason, natural tears won’t harm the corneal flaps or hinder the healing process.

At bedtime, wear your eye shield for at least one week if you sleep on your back or side, and two weeks if you sleep on your stomach. This will prevent you from rubbing your eyes during asleep.

Severe pain after LASIK surgery is extremely rare and should not be expected in general. However, some minor discomfort and soreness are to be expected. This discomfort could take the form of itchiness or even burning; more commonly, patients feel a sensation similar to the presence of a foreign object in the eye.

When can I safely rub my eyes? You should not rub your eyes for 2 months after LASIK and PRK. You do not want to displace the corneal flap in LASIK or loosen the corneal epithelium in PRK. It should be safe to rub the eyes 1 month after PCRI/AK and SMILE.

Give Your Eyes some Downtime after LASIK You’ll want to rest your eyes for the first day of your recovery in order to give them a chance to heal properly. As part of this rest, we recommend that you avoid looking at screens of any kind — TV, phone, computer or tablet — for 24 hours after LASIK.
