Some choose to take an extra day off. Laser vision correction is a permanent procedure. Ten to eleven years of follow-up studies show very good stability. There are a few cases in which a slight regression of the correction occur within the first few months. These persons can be corrected by an enhancement procedure, which is done free of charge.
Many patients notice an immediate improvement after the laser treatment throughout that day.
The most dramatic improvement is seen upon awakening in the morning after the procedure. At that time, the visual improvement is advanced enough to drive or work without corrective lenses. Visual improvement continues over the next two to four weeks. Dr. Stout performs the procedure on both eyes at the same time. Our patients appreciate the convenience and immediate visual balance.
