  • Dry eyes. LASIK surgery causes a temporary decrease in tear production. Use Eye drops at this time.
  • Glare, halos and double vision. After surgery you may have difficulty seeing at night. You might notice glare, halos around bright lights or double vision. This generally lasts a few days to a few weeks.
  • Astigmatism. Astigmatism can be caused by uneven tissue removal. It may require additional surgery, glasses or contact lenses.
  • Flap problems. Folding back or removing the flap from the front of your eye during surgery can cause complications, including infection and excess tears. The outermost corneal tissue layer (epithelium) may grow abnormally underneath the flap during the healing process.
  • Vision loss or changes. Rarely, you may experience loss of vision due to surgical complications. Some people also may not see as sharply or clearly as previously. (Estimate of %0.31)

  • Know what surgery may cost you. LASIK surgery is usually considered elective surgery, so most insurance companies won't cover the cost of the surgery. Be prepared to pay out-of-pocket for your expenses.
  • Arrange for a ride home. You'll need to have someone drive you to and from your place of surgery. Immediately after surgery, you might still feel the effects of medicine given to you before surgery, and your vision may be blurry.
  • Skip the eye makeup. Don't use eye makeup, cream, perfumes or lotions on the day before and the day of your surgery. Your doctor may also instruct you to clean your eyelashes daily or more often in the days leading up to surgery, to remove debris and minimize your risk of infection.

During the procedure, you lie on your back in a reclining chair. You may be given medicine to help you relax. After numbing drops are placed in your eye, your doctor uses an instrument to hold your eyelids open.
    A suction ring placed on your eye just before cutting the corneal flap may cause a feeling of pressure, and your vision may dim a little.
    Your eye surgeon uses a small blade or cutting laser to cut a small hinged flap away from the front of your eye. Folding back the flap allows your doctor to access the part of your cornea to be reshaped.
    Using a programmed laser, your eye surgeon reshapes parts of your cornea. With each pulse of the laser beam, a tiny amount of corneal tissue is removed. After reshaping the cornea, the surgeon lays the flap back into place. The flap usually heals without stitches.
    During the surgery, you'll be asked to focus on a point of light. Staring at this light helps you keep your eye fixed while the laser reshapes your cornea. You may detect a distinct odor as the laser removes your corneal tissue. Some people describe smelling an odor similar to that of burning hair.
    If you need LASIK surgery in both eyes, doctors will generally conduct the procedure on the same day.

Before your LASIK eye surgery begins, numbing eye drops are used to alleviate any pain or discomfort to the eye during the procedure. Prescribed medication will be given to help you relax before the procedure.]]> 2018-03-12 17:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241017390 3328542 https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241019032 2018-03-12 17:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241019032 3328542 https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241019453 2018-03-12 17:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241019453 3328542 https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241020841 No one gives better information than a Harvard student]]> 2018-03-12 17:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241020841 Success Rate 3328542 https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241021815  The latest research reports 99 percent of patients achieve better than 20/40 vision and more than 90 percent achieve 20/20 or better.]]> 2018-03-12 17:41:17 UTC https://padlet.com/3328542/lnack6k90e8x/wish/241021815
