To help you relax during surgery and ensure your comfort & safety, Dr. Schneider will administer special medication and numbing drops before he begins your procedure. The actual treatment time takes less than 60 seconds and patients remain awake and comfortable during the entire process. You will be in our laser suite for 20-30 minutes and most patients report little if any discomfort. Your eyes may be dry following your LASIK procedure, so Dr. Schneider will give you prescription eye drops to enhance your visual recovery process, make your eyes more comfortable and help maximize your visual acuity. Your vision may be blurry for 24 hours, and most patients experience improved vision within a few days of surgery. You will return to Dr. Schneider for a follow-up visit within 24 to 48 hours of your procedure and be scheduled for a series of follow-up visits during the next six months.
