You should plan on having someone drive you home after the procedure. You will be given a starter supply of necessary eye drops and instructions that need to be followed for a few days after the surgery. Any paperwork or forms that need to be signed should be turned in to the doctors at the laser center. Any questions or concerns you forgot to ask should be addressed at this time. You will then be brought into the treatment room in preparation for your laser procedure.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised at how fast and easy Laser Vision Correction is.
While reclined, you will be asked to fixate on a red flashing light while the surgeon is treating your eye. You will hear the clicking of the laser as the treatment proceeds. In only a matter of seconds, treatment is complete. An antibiotic eye drop is then instilled and a clear shield will be placed over your eye until the next morning. It is recommended that you go home and sleep.
