» After your laser eye surgery
The doctor may prescribe medication for any postoperative pain, but many people feel no more than mild discomfort or
"scratchiness" afterwards. The operated eye(s) must be protected from UV radiation. You will probably wear a special
"bandage" contact lens, use antibiotic drops for a few days, and apply anti-inflammatory drops for several weeks.
The post-operative treatments will not allow the removed tissue to regenerate, because this would cause the same
refraction problems as prior to the surgery. That's the reason why it's important that you follow your doctor's instructions to
the letter. Get proper rest, fill and use any necessary prescriptions, and call your doctor immediately if you suspect a problem.
