How Long Until Vision Clarity? Recovery from LASIK Eye Surgery
Nicola Kennedy
As with any other surgery, LASIK also has a recovery period.
Since LASIK involves cutting a flap in the corneal tissue, the
recovery typically pertains to the healing of the cornea.
Patients who have undergone LASIK surgery may experience blurry
vision and watery eyes until the cornea heals completely.
However, it is true that in case of LASIK, the patient requires
less time for full recovery, relative to other refractive
surgery procedures.
It is reported that LASIK helps restore vision clarity shortly
after the surgery. However, there are a few exceptions and LASIK
does have associated complications. During recovery, a patient
may suffer from halos/starbursts, light sensitivity,
astigmatism, dry eye syndrome, or other minor side effects. But
these conditions normally dissipate over a period of a few
weeks. Moreover, instances of such complications are minor - a
mere 5%.
In general, your eye surgeon would schedule post-operative
meetings, in order to test your vision and assess the results of
the surgery. These post-operative visits are highly beneficial
for a speedy recovery, since the doctor may advise certain
valuable tips and precautions that you must take. Though quite
rare, a few patients might require enhancement procedures to
attain optimum visual acuity. Such aspects may be discussed at
these post-operative visits.
Following the LASIK surgery, you should be able to resume your
daily life fairly quickly. However, it is recommended that you
should not take part in any major sporting activities for at
least a month or so after the surgery. For instance, tiring
contact or water sports are highly detrimental to recovery.
LASIK is the preferred choice of many among the available types
of refractive surgery. After LASIK surgery recovery, majority of
patients have had excellent results, without any serious or
long-term complications. Furthermore, they have been able to see
as well as they did with their eyeglasses or contact lenses - a
dramatic change in a person's life, with a whole new range of
activities available that he or she could not enjoy while
wearing eyeglasses.
