Will my eyes hurt after LASIK?
LASIK is intended to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Custom LASIK can correct other irregularities that cause symptoms such as glare, halos, shadows and poor night vision. Please note, however, that LASIK may not be the best option for severe myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. Also, people with certain existing vision problems may not be good candidates for LASIK.
NOTE: It is best to consult your eye doctor to determine whether or not you are a candidate for LASIK, and if the procedure is right for you.

Presbyopia is an age-related condition in which the natural lens loses elasticity, which impairs the eye’s ability to focus on near objects.

No. You may experience blurred vision immediately after your surgery, so plan to have someone else drive you home.

The procedure is painless. Before surgery, your doctor will put a few anesthetic eye drops into your eyes. You may experience dryness in the eye the following day, but this should pass quickly.
