Prior to LASIK, the patient should stop wearing contact lenses at least for 1 week before the surgery. This will facilitate an accurate refraction, pachymetry, and topography so that we do not have any refractive surprises after the surgery. The patient should preferably have a hair bath a night prior to the surgery itself (patients will be advised to avoid hair bath for 2 weeks after the surgery). On the day of the surgery, patients should avoid wearing any perfume, deodorant and eye makeup. After the surgery, the patients will be prescribed dark glasses to be worn for a couple of days. The patient will be also given a couple of drops that are to be continued for a month after the surgery. The patient can resume the routine activities in two days.
