Laser Eye Surgery-What Actually Happens
John Mancini
Laser eye surgery is fast becoming on of the most popular
elective surgeries in the world today. It is a fairly
straightforward procedure, but many people do not know how it is
performed. This lack of knowledge may be stopping some good
candidates for the surgery from having it done.
The surgeon will be performing the surgery with a rather large
machine. While it may look intimidating, it is necessary as it
has a camera, the laser and computer attached to it. The doctor
will cut a flap in the cornea with a scalpel, and then switch to
the laser for the remainder of the surgery.
That is it. The laser eye surgery is completed. Now it is time
for the recovery process to begin. Since the cornea is not
sutured together after the surgery, the surgeon will place an
eye patch over it. This patch will protect the cornea from being
accidentally harmed.
When you go to the clinic for your procedure, you will be taken
to a room with a recliner. This is where you will be seated.
Your eye will be numbed and the eyelid clamped open to prevent
blinking.
Most patients return to work with in a couple of days and most
normal activities with in a couple of weeks. Your recovery will,
of course, depend upon you and your particular situation.
However, you should expect to have better vision within a short
amount of time following the surgery.
When you are contemplating laser eye surgery, also known as
LASIK eye surgery, the first step is to speak with your eye care
professional. Your doctor will be able to tell you if you are
indeed a candidate. During the prescreening phase, they will go
over a list of requirements such as: No change in eye
prescriptions with in the last year That you have no eye
diseases That you can sit still for an hour straight That you
fully understand after surgery care
It is a good idea to have someone drive you to the clinic for
the procedure, as you will not be able to see clearly enough to
drive yourself. You may also experience light sensitivity for a
short period of time.
