After Surgery You may go home after a short stay in the recovery area. You should plan to have someone else drive you home. The eye may feel dry after surgery, because it may be more difficult to close your eyes completely. This irritation generally disappears as the surgery heals. Your ophthalmologist will attempt to make both eyes look similar, but differences in healing between the eyes may cause some unevenness following surgery.
Serious complications are rare.
Scarring and infections occur infrequently.
