What is Eye Laser Surgery (LASIK)?
LASIK is a minimally invasive procedure that reshapes the cornea using a precise laser beam to correct refractive errors. This allows light to focus more accurately on the retina, leading to clearer vision. The procedure is quick, virtually painless, and offers long-term benefits for those seeking to reduce or eliminate their dependency on corrective eyewear.
Who Can Get Eye Laser Surgery?
LASIK at ONE CLINIC is suitable for individuals who meet the following criteria:
- Aged 18 and older: Candidates must be at least 18 years old with stable vision for at least a year. Since vision may change during adolescence, it’s essential to wait until your eyes have fully matured.
- Good Eye Health: Ideal candidates are those who do not have significant eye conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, or severe dry eyes. A comprehensive eye exam at ONE CLINIC will determine your eligibility.
- Stable Prescription: People with a stable vision prescription for at least 12 months are good candidates. If your vision is still changing, it’s better to wait until it stabilizes before considering surgery.
- No Pregnancy: Pregnant women or those breastfeeding should wait until after they’ve completed nursing and their hormones return to normal before undergoing LASIK surgery.
Benefits of Eye Laser Surgery
LASIK offers a range of benefits, making it one of the most popular vision correction procedures:
1. Immediate Vision Improvement:
Most patients experience improved vision immediately after the procedure, with significant results within the first 24 hours.
2. No More Glasses or Contacts:
Say goodbye to the inconvenience of wearing glasses or contact lenses. LASIK offers a long-term solution to vision problems, reducing or eliminating the need for corrective eyewear.
3. Fast Recovery Time:
The recovery process is quick, and most patients return to normal activities, including work, within a day or two after the surgery.
4. Long-Lasting Results:
LASIK results are typically permanent, and while aging may affect vision later in life (such as the need for reading glasses), the correction made by LASIK remains stable for most people.
5. Safe and Proven:
LASIK is a well-researched and trusted procedure that has helped millions of people around the world achieve better vision.
Before Your Eye Laser Surgery – Pre-Operative Instructions
Preparing for your LASIK surgery at ONE CLINIC is crucial for ensuring a successful outcome. Here’s what to do before the procedure:
1. Comprehensive Eye Exam:
Before the surgery, you’ll undergo a detailed eye examination at ONE CLINIC. This will assess your eye health and determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK.
2. Stop Wearing Contact Lenses:
Contact lenses can alter the shape of your cornea, so it’s essential to stop wearing soft lenses at least two weeks before your surgery. If you wear hard lenses, you may need to stop wearing them for up to four weeks before the procedure.
3. No Makeup or Creams:
On the day of your surgery, avoid wearing eye makeup, lotions, creams, or perfumes. These can introduce bacteria and may interfere with the laser during the procedure.
4. Arrange for Transportation:
You won’t be able to drive immediately after the surgery, so arrange for someone to take you home afterward. Your vision may be blurry for a few hours post-surgery.
5. Rest and Hydrate:
Get a good night’s rest before your surgery, and make sure to stay hydrated. This can help speed up the recovery process.
After Your Eye Laser Surgery – Post-Operative Care
Post-operative care is crucial for a smooth recovery and optimal results. Follow these guidelines after your LASIK surgery:
1. Protect Your Eyes from Sunlight:
Avoid direct sunlight and wear protective sunglasses when outdoors for at least one month after surgery. Exposure to UV rays can affect the healing process and may lead to complications.
2. Use Prescribed Eye Drops:
Your doctor will prescribe eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Use them as directed, and avoid rubbing your eyes, as this can dislodge the healing corneal flap.
3. Limit Screen Time:
Limit your use of screens (phones, computers, and TVs) for the first few days, as focusing on screens can strain your eyes.
4. Avoid Water Exposure:
Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and direct exposure to water in your eyes for at least two weeks after the surgery to prevent infection.
5. Attend Follow-Up Appointments:
Follow-up visits at ONE CLINIC are important to monitor your recovery and ensure that your eyes are healing properly. Attend all scheduled appointments and notify your doctor if you experience any unusual symptoms, such as persistent discomfort or vision problems.
Can I Be in the Sun After Eye Laser Surgery?
While you can go outside after LASIK, it’s essential to protect your eyes from direct sunlight:
- Wear UV-Protective Sunglasses: For the first month after surgery, always wear sunglasses when outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays.
- Avoid Prolonged Exposure: Try to limit your time in direct sunlight during peak hours (usually between 10 AM and 4 PM), as too much sun exposure during the healing process can increase the risk of complications.
How Long Does the Eye Laser Surgery Take?
LASIK surgery is a quick procedure:
- Surgery Duration: The actual laser correction typically takes only 10-15 minutes per eye. The entire process, including preparation, will take about 30 minutes to an hour.
- Recovery Time: Most patients notice a significant improvement in vision within 24 hours of the procedure, and many can return to work the next day. However, it’s important to give your eyes time to rest for at least 24-48 hours after the procedure.
