Lasik eye surgery has a very fast recovery time. Almost all patients will wake up the next morning feeling well. They will also have much better eye sight. Many Lasik patients describe the recovery as going to be with poor eye sight, and waking up with “new eyes”.
Other forms of Laser eye surgery have longer recovery times. For example, the recovery time of Lasek eye surgery is longer than Lasik. The patients age and general health can play a role in recovery as well.
A good interview that goes over the initial lasik consultation, who is a lasik candidate, who is not a candidate, what to expect during the lasik procedure, and what to expect as far as short term results and long term results of lasik.
The video interview is from Shandon Street Hospital in Ireland. It does not specify the name of the doctor, and I couldn’t figure out which of their doctors it was form their website.
