In LASIK surgery, your doctor uses a special laser for precise and controlled corneal tissue removal to reshape the cornea. This changes its focusing power, thus correcting your blurry vision.
This is a minor outpatient procedure and is typically completed in approximately 30 minutes. Your eyes will be numbed with anesthetic eye drops before surgery, and a ring is placed to keep your eye open. Your eye surgeon will use a laser to reshape the cornea. Your vision will go dim during the surgery, but you won't feel a thing. No stitches are placed.
Your eyes may feel a little gritty, and there may be an itching or burning sensation. Your may experience blurry vision and watery eyes, but don’t worry, this is temporary. Your vision will recover soon. Your doctor may prescribe pain medication or eye drops after the surgery so that you are comfortable and pain-free for several hours. You won’t be able to see immediately after surgery but will be able to go home the same day.

On average, the time for immediate recovery after LASIK is between six and 12 hours but this varies from patient to patient and depends on several factors such as how good your vision was before surgery. Most patients can see clearly within 24 hours after the LASIK surgery, but it may take two to five days for full recovery. Your doctor will schedule a follow-up appointment for you within a few days after the surgery to evaluate the healing.
You can plan for other follow-up appointments during the first six months after surgery.
Follow your doctor’s recommendations about how soon you can resume your normal activities.
