There is hardly any recovery time associated with LASIK eye surgery. Patients will typically see an improvement in their vision within 24-48 hours and the eyes are usually totally healed within a fortnight. For the first day or two, vision may be watery or hazy, but this will clear up as the eyes heal. There are no bandages or stitches required and pain is usually minimal during the recovery process. It may take between one and three months for vision to stabilise following the surgery, although you should notice a difference within a few days. Patients should be adequately informed by their surgeons of the importance of proper post-operative care to minimize the risk of complications, such as infection and inflammation.
