Post-op, as the eyes heal, you may:
- Feel like there's something in your eye, or have burning or itching. It's crucial not to rub your eyes.
- Have fluctuating or blurry vision.
- See halos or starbursts.
- Be sensitive to light.
After your laser eye surgery, you'll need to:
- Have someone drive you home.
- Wear clear eye shields to protect your eyes for the first day.
- See the eye doctor within 24-48 hours post-op. They will give you eye drops to help prevent infection and inflammation.
It's best to take a few days off work to help your eyes heal.
For at least 6 months after surgery, you'll have routine visits with your eye doctor. They will check your eyes and test your vision.
