What is the recovery like for a LASIK procedure?

Answer:
Patients can expect a short recovery period after LASIK eye surgery.

They might have to wear a protective shield over their eyes for the first couple of nights and their doctor might instruct them to take antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, or moistening eye drops, and to wear dark glasses if they experience any sensitivity to light

Patients are advised to sleep immediately following surgery to reduce any post-operative pain, and watching television, reading, or using a computer should be avoided for the first 24 hours; and while a patient should notice improved vision on waking, it can take a few months for final vision to stabilize. Most patients are able to return to work and normal activities the day after LASIK surgery.
