It’s completely normal to feel anxious or nervous before your procedure. Please keep the following recommendations in mind to help you feel more at ease:

• On the day of your surgery, try to stay as relaxed and well-rested as possible. You may have a light breakfast or lunch.

• The entire process takes approximately one hour.

• Wear comfortable clothing. Do not wear makeup, perfume, hair spray, or jewelry.

• Make sure to come with someone who can drive you home, or arrange transportation in advance. If you don’t have someone available, let us know—we’ll be happy to help you organize it.

As it is such a simple procedure, there are no specific requirements for preparation prior to surgery. However, it is important to avoid consuming alcohol or medications that cause drowsiness.

If you wear contact lenses, you must stop using them for a period of time prior to surgery. One of our professionals will determine the appropriate length of time to go without them based on your particular case.

The reason for removing the lenses before surgery is to allow the cornea to return to its normal state.

Most patients begin to notice clear results just a few hours after the procedure.

However, the speed of visual recovery can vary depending on individual factors—and having a positive mindset plays an important role in the process.

Patients with higher degrees of myopia, astigmatism, or hyperopia may experience a slower recovery, but it will still be safe and effective.

Most patients are able to return to work just a few days after surgery.

It’s important to follow the recommendations outlined in the next section, as post-operative care plays a key role in the success of your surgery.

Other than that, as long as you follow your doctor’s instructions, you can feel free to resume your normal daily activities.

Follow-up, post-operative care, and any medical prescriptions your eyes may need are just as important as the procedure itself. Ideally, your doctor will give you personalized care instructions tailored to your case.

You’ll need to attend regular check-ups to ensure your eyes are healing as expected, to rule out any signs of infection, and to monitor your visual progress.

The day after your surgery, you’ll have your first follow-up visit with our doctors. During this appointment, they will prescribe antibiotic eye drops for the first week, as well as lubricating drops to relieve the common sensation of dryness during the first few months.

Based on our experience, most patients prefer to have both eyes treated on the same day. This approach offers several advantages in terms of comfort, such as:

• Minimizing time away from work

• Achieving better balance between both eyes

• Faster improvement in overall vision

• Lower risk of night glare

The risk of complications that could lead to reduced vision is extremely low and has only been documented in isolated clinical studies.

At Optiláser, we have never had a case of vision loss caused by the treatment. Our medical team undergoes rigorous training, and we follow a strict policy of only operating on patients who are diagnosed with a 100% likelihood of surgical success.

Our commitment to safety and patient care means we’ll always do what’s best for you—before, during, and after your procedure.

One of the most common questions patients ask is how long the results will last. Today, experts around the world agree that laser vision correction provides long-lasting results, with no significant changes expected over time.

Thanks to the excellent outcomes achieved globally, laser vision correction has become the most widely performed refractive procedure in the world.

That’s why so many ophthalmologists and optometrists have placed their trust in the procedure, in Optiláser, and especially in our advanced technology.
