When you visit Richens Eye Center in St. George, Utah or Mesquite, Nevada, one of our experienced, friendly physicians will perform a thorough consultation and eye examination to determine your ideal treatment. Both the LASIK and the ICL procedures are performed in the office. To ensure your comfort, your doctor will begin your treatment with the application of a topical numbing medication. These specially-formulated eye drops are a powerful, fast-acting form of local anesthesia. Your eyes will remain numb for the duration of your procedure. After the procedure, once the medication has worn off, you may feel slight soreness in the eyes. This is temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter medication
