What to Expect Before, During, and After LASIK Laser Eye Surgery?
Knowing what happens at each stage of laser eye surgery can help you feel prepared and more at ease. Here’s what you can expect:
Before Surgery
You will attend a consultation to confirm your suitability for LASIK surgery. Your eyes will be thoroughly examined, and measurements will be taken to plan your treatment. You may be advised to stop wearing contact lenses for a short period before surgery. Detailed guidance will be provided to help you prepare.
During Surgery
LASIK is carried out under local anaesthetic eye drops. The surgeon creates a thin flap on the surface of the cornea using a precise laser. A second laser reshapes the cornea to correct your vision. The flap is then replaced without the need for stitches. The procedure usually takes less than 30 minutes, and both eyes can be treated during the same session.
After Surgery
You will rest briefly before going home the same day. Your vision may be slightly blurred at first, and your eyes may feel dry or irritated for a short period. Eye drops and aftercare instructions will be provided to support healing. Most patients notice improved vision within 24 to 48 hours. Follow-up appointments will monitor your progress and confirm your results.

Lasik Laser Eye Surgery – What To Expect
If you are considering LASIK Eye Surgery, you probably have many questions. Some of the most common questions on this procedure are answered below. However, should you have any further queries please discuss these in your consultation with your eye doctor.
Is LASIK Laser Eye Surgery right for me?
Eligibility for Laser Vision Correction depends on many factors. Only your eye doctor can determine whether LASIK is best suited for you.
What advantages does LASIK offer?
The fast and highly precise femtosecond laser enables the surgeon to quickly and predictably create a hinged corneal flap without a blade. The patient is then comfortably relocated to the excimer laser to complete the treatment.
Is Lasik Eye Surgery safe?
Complications after LASIK surgery are rare, but cannot be completely ruled out. As with all medical procedures, there is always a risk of possible side effects. Your eye doctor will discuss these with you.
How do I prepare for Surgery?
If you wear contact lenses, most surgeons recommend switching to glasses a few weeks before surgery. You are advised not to apply makeup, lotions or perfume the day you have surgery. Also, it is suggested that you arrange to have someone bring you home afterward.
How long does the procedure take?
The treatment procedure itself only takes about 15 minutes for both eyes.
What happens after surgery?
A protective bandage or eye shield is placed over the eye to avoid rubbing it. Eye drops and possibly other medication may be prescribed to prevent infection and aid the healing process. A post-op examination the next day is customary, as are further examinations for the following weeks or months.
When can I return to my normal activities?
You will be able to resume most of your normal activities and return to work within the first week.
How long is the recovery time?
Complete visual recovery usually takes two to three weeks.
