Ready to proceed with LASIK surgery? While it's a relatively simple procedure that generally takes no more than half an hour, there are a few important things you need to do to prepare for LASIK.

Follow these steps for smooth recovery and optimal results:

Talk to your doctor about your options. Consult with your doctor to learn more about the advantages and disadvantages of LASIK eye surgery, as well as what you can expect from the procedure. Don't hesitate to ask questions !

Stop wearing your contacts a week prior to the procedure. Contacts can change the shape of your cornea and influence the results of the surgery. It's best to switch over to spectacles 7 days prior to the procedure.

Avoid makeup, lotions, perfumes, and alcohol the day before your surgery. Beauty products can increase the risk of infections, while alcohol can cause dehydration and delay the healing process.

Make plans for recovery. Arrange for somebody to help you get home after the surgery. It's also crucial to take a few days off work for optimal recovery.

Now you can begin looking forward to living with clear vision at NW Cornea Institute!
