The surgery itself is essentially painless and most patients notice a significant improvement in their vision right away. Approximately 1 hour after your arrival you will be leaving to be driven home. You then place shields over both eyes and take a nap for approximately 4 hours. Most of our patients wake up from their nap with little or no discomfort.
