Preparing for Your LASIK Surgery

Ensuring a Smooth and Successful Procedure

Preparing for LASIK surgery is straightforward, yet following specific guidelines can enhance the success of your procedure and comfort during recovery. Here are essential tips to prepare for your LASIK surgery day:

• Avoid Eye Makeup and Lotions: Refrain from using eye makeup, creams, or perfumes the day before and on the day of your surgery to reduce infection risks.
• Arrange Transportation: Your vision may be blurry immediately after the procedure, so ensure you have someone to drive you home.
• Wear Comfortable Clothing: Opt for comfortable, loose-fitting clothes on the day of your surgery. Avoid fabrics that can generate lint or particles.
• Skip Contact Lenses: Depending on the type of contacts you wear, you’ll need to stop wearing them for a period before surgery (ranging from several days to weeks) to allow your cornea to return to its natural shape.

Rest Well: A good night’s sleep before your surgery can help you feel more relaxed and comfortable on the day of the procedure.
