LASIK Laser Myopia Operation Questions
Can anyone have surgery?
In order to perform the LASIK laser myopia operation, it is necessary to carry out an ophthalmological examination previously, where the ophthalmologist can determine if the patient is suitable for the intervention and rule out possible contraindications.
The intervention is painless. Anesthetic drops will be applied to the patient's eye to avoid possible discomfort.
How long does the surgery take?
The Lasik laser myopia operation lasts about 7-10 minutes for each eye, however, the time of application of the laser light to the eye is limited to a few seconds.
Is the recovery process long? When will I be able to go back to my daily routine?
The recovery time is fast and progressive, although it will depend on the number of diopters corrected. Most patients 48-72 hours after surgery can begin to resume their daily activity.
How should I care for my eyes after the operation?
It is important to rest for the hours after surgery, keeping your eyes closed for as long as possible, so that the next day you can resume your daily activities.
On the other hand, the patient should apply antibiotic and anti-inflammatory drops; and apply artificial tear regularly based on the guidelines set by the ophthalmologist.
Can other visual defects be corrected in the intervention?
Yes, in the LASIK laser myopia operation, other refractive errors can also be corrected. For example, in the same intervention, myopia and astigmatism could be corrected.
