Precautions after LASIK surgery

There is an important point that must be emphasized after LASIK surgery.

Postoperative care is really important for vision correction surgery.

LASEK is a surgical procedure that corrects vision by removing the corneal epithelium and then using laser to treat the corneal stroma.

Unlike LASIK, there is no creation of a corneal flap, making the procedure safe and sturdy even against external shocks after surgery. However, during the regeneration of the removed corneal epithelium, pain is experienced, and it takes about 3 to 4 days for recovery.

Therefore, special caution is required during this period.
