How To Care For Your Eyes After Femto-LASIK

Recovery from LASIK eye surgery requires the corneal flap to heal, but patients from the Beverly Hills Medical Center Kuwaitfind that their eyes feel normal as early as the first day after surgery, even as the corneal flap heals. Patients are also amazed to have immediately improved vision, although vision continues to improve over time as the eyes heal.

Right after LASIK eye surgery, patients rest in a dark room for 20-30 minutes.  Upon leaving, Dr. Zein recommends that hisKuwait LASIK patients do not drive themselves home, and continue to wear their provided eye guards or sunglasses.  For the first day, patients may experience mild irritation, including redness, dryness, and tearing, which are normal symptoms within the first 24 hours after femto-LASIK eye surgery.  Dr. Zein will recommend anti-inflammatory medication or medicated eye drops for each of his patients to reduce these symptoms.

In the first 24 hours, Kuwait ophthalmology patients should avoid rubbing their eyes, reading, computer work, TV, and should rest for the duration of the day. 

Kuwait ophthalmology patients usually find that symptoms subside quickly if they continue to take Dr. Zein’s prescriptions as instructed. Most patients are able to return to work within a day. Normal symptoms may include night vision problems such as glare, halos, and starbursts, and dry eyes. In rare cases, these mild symptoms may last for a few months, but should fix themselves with the proper care. If you feel that something is abnormal, be sure to contact Dr. Zein.  With his emphasis on individualized patient care, and extensive experience in femto-LASIK eye surgery, Dr. Zein will be able to determine if something needs medical attention.

Even if your eyes feel completely healed, be sure to keep all follow-up appointments with Dr. Zein at the Beverly Hills Medical Center Kuwait.  LASIK patients should also avoid smoke, water, soap, strenuous exercise and contact sports for up to a few weeks, because they may irritate the healing corneal flap. Swimming and hot tubs should be avoided for a few months to ensure the quickest healing.

It may take 2 to 3 months for your eyes to reach their best focus, and your eyesight could continue to improve for up to 6 months.  The most important factor to success of your LASIK eye surgery is selecting a good doctor that can carefully screen you before the surgery and ensure you are a good candidate, and execute the surgery with expertise.
