What happens after the treatment
After the procedure, your vision will be tested and you will be given medication to prevent infection and/or dry eyes. You will receive eye shields to prevent you from rubbing your eyes while asleep and sunglasses to protect your eyes from strain because they will be sensitive to bright light for a short time. Your eyes will not yet be clear enough for you to drive or even to use public transport, so have someone with you who can take you home.
Aftercare
The next day, when you go for your first after-care check-up, you should have very good vision. But no matter how well you feel or how pleased you are with your eyesight immediately after treatment, it is extremely important to follow your surgeon's instructions with regard to medication and general eye-care. You must attend all after-care visits at day 1, 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment - and possibly at 6 and 12 months, too.
