Facts to Know About Laser Eye Surgery Including Lasik Eye Surgery
Amy-Jo Strutt

This page is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge you need when considering laser eye surgery. This procedure can be a bit intimidating for people and hopefully you will feel much more comfortable about it once you have read this. A popular procedure is lasik eye surgery which is intended to reduce your dependency on either your eyeglasses or contact lenses. Your best bet to get fully informed before having laser eye surgery is to go for an evaluation with your optometrist to see if you are a potential candidate for laser vision correction. Before moving forward you want to ensure that you are fully informed about the procedure.

Prior to the evaluation with your optometrist, stop wearing your contact lenses and only wear you eyeglasses for a minimum of 2 weeks before your appointment. Contacts actually change the shape of your cornea. By wearing eyeglasses only, your corneas ill go back to their natural shape. After your evaluation, your doctor will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for lasik eye surgery or any other laser eye surgery. They should then explain fully all the risks, benefits and other alternatives to laser vision correction. If you are unsure about anything, it is extremely important that you ask your doctor so that you are making a fully informed decision.

Laser eye surgery is virtually pain free as the cornea is anesthetized using special drops. There may be mild discomfort when the anesthetic wears off but this irritation should be minor and last only a few hours. Laser vision correction is a very quick procedure which can take between 15 and 40 seconds. Most patients notice an improvement within 3 to 5 days of having laser eye surgery. So whether you choose lasik eye surgery or any other type or procedure, make sure to do your research and consult a reputable clinic. It is critical that before undertaking anything like this, you are well educated and can go in with confidence.
