During the first 24 hours after the surgery, the best thing you can do is to close your eyes as much as possible. You may choose to lie down or just go to sleep about 2-3 hours right after the operation. Avoid swimming and dont let any water enter your eyes during the first week. When washing your face, its best to wipe your face with a clean damp piece of cloth and use a moist cotton ball that has been dipped in cooled boiled water for the eye area. During the first month, do not rub your eyes under any circumstances.

On the day of the surgery, you should go home immediately afterward and rest. In most cases, you can return to work after 1-2 days with clearer vision. However, for a stable clearer vision, it may require up to 1-2 weeks.

You should wait 7 days before putting on make up. In addition, you should use a new mascara in order to prevent infection.

You can drive immediately when you feel you have a clearer vision. In most cases, 90% of patients can drive the next day.

The majority of patients tend to choose to get LASIK surgery on both eyes at the same time for convenience. However, it is possible to do one eye at a time and wait about a week or longer for the other eye.

LASIK surgery is similar to other types of surgery. The % of success in achieving your normal vision may not be 100% in every case. Nevertheless, LASIK will certainly allow you to depend less on contact lenses and glasses. The information from the designer and manufacturer that has already been approved by the FDA, showed that 97% of those who undergo LASIK surgery have 20/40 or better vision. Legally, this is considered to be normal vision, which means that you can get a drivers license without wearing glasses or contact lenses. For those who are 40 years old or more, you may still have to use bifocal glasses to see close things like most other elderly people.

The result of the surgery is different for everyone; therefore, its best to let your physician assess your eye condition. Generally, the appointment is made 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after the surgery. These appointments are free, except when medicine is prescribed.
