While the majority of patients who have LASIK are very pleased with their results from the first day, some do have questions during the healing period. This section is designed to provide some general information that may be of use to patients in the immediate post-operative period.
We remind all patients that it is very important to adhere to their ophthalmologist's suggested follow-up schedule and to keep all post-operative appointments.
Additionally, it is important to let your doctor know if you have any questions about your vision or your eyes. Only a doctor who has performed an examination of your eyes and has a complete medical history can accurately determine if your situation is within normal limits or requires additional care.
While we provide information regarding the overall expectations for the surgery, we understand that there are specific questions that arise in the first few weeks following the surgery.
For your convenience, this section is broken down into two components:
Expectations & Complications
- reviews your expectations during the healing and recovery period.
Questions for Doctors
- provides a listing of questions that may assist in your conversation with your doctor about your condition and future treatment/expectations.
