At the consultation with one of our physicians, we will confirm whether you are a good candidate, explain the procedure, and answer your questions. The doctor will also explain the results you can reasonably expect, and inform you of the risks. Anesthetic eye drops are used just before surgery begins. Almost all patients describe no pain or discomfort during the actual surgery. PRK patients may experience discomfort for a couple of days.
Most patients are able to return to work within three days of the procedure.
There are very few restrictions on activity during the immediate post-operative period. Laser vision correction has been very successful in reducing dependence on glasses and contact lenses, but the degree of improvement varies among individuals. Sometimes a patient will require glasses at night for driving. Quality and safety are our primary concerns. Our commitment to use only the most modern equipment combined with our experience and expertise give you the best outcome possible.
