To qualify for laser treatment of farsightedness, patients must be at least 21 years of age with between 1 and 6 units of hyperopia. There should also be little or no astigmatism. Many patients notice an improvement immediately after the laser treatment. In those cases, generally there is gradual improvement for the first one to two months following the procedure. Although the speed of visual recovery depends on personal healing patterns, most patients notice dramatic visual results within the first few days following their procedure.
Patients generally can return to work within a day or two after laser vision correction.
Patients are advised to sleep as much as possible during the first 12 hours post-op. This minimizes blinking and allows the eyes to rest. We feel that there are many reasons why you should choose Myers Center For The Eye for your laser vision correction procedure. A few of those reasons are listed below. Our ophthalmologists are all board certified.
