What Can I Expect After LASIK? How Long Will I Be Home From Work?

Each person responds differently to LASIK based on their original prescription, shape of the eye, age, etc.

Your first post-operation check-up should be scheduled the day after your scheduled LASIK eye surgery to review your progress and recommend additional treatment(s), if any.

Many patients have both eyes corrected on the same time. Your vision will be hazy at first. Many patients are able to return to work the next day, while some wait several days before their vision clears up. Most of our patients have their surgery on a Thursday, and are able to return to work on Monday (unless they are in a profession that requires perfect and precise vision). Some patients with elevated prescriptions, extreme dehydration, or other factors may take several months prior to full recovery.
