Frequently Asked Questions

What will my eye look like?

After a few days you will not be able to see evidence of treatment on the eye as this can only be detected using very sophisticated equipment.


LASEK
When you remove the eye pad (the doctors will advise when to do this), the treated eye may be puffy and weepy.

This should subside after 48 hours. Whilst using eye drops or ointment, the pupil may be enlarged.


LASIK
The treated eye will look normal the day after treatment except for some slight redness.

A few patients will notice some red spotting on the eye. This will disappear two to three weeks after treatment.
