The Food and Drug Administration has approved LASIK procedures in two steps. In the first step, Dr. Brusco utilizes a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap, which is then lifted. In the second step of LASIK, the cornea is reshaped using a different laser to correct vision. The procedure is then finished by carefully resealing this flap. The corneal flap must not be disturbed for the first week. It is very secure after 48–72 hours, but if you apply too much pressure to the eye in one area, particularly in the first 72 hours, you could possibly move the flap’s edge. To assist in preventing this issue, we encourage patients to wear eye protection at night. We advise utilizing eye shields while you sleep at night or taking naps for the first several days following your LASIK procedure. Patients should also use extreme caution while rubbing their eyes to avoid putting pressure on the eye and instead use a clean tissue to avoid doing so.
