LASIK Eye Surgery, LASIK Vision Correction Guide - Is the LASIK eye surgery painful?

Is the LASIK eye surgery painful?

No! Patients experience virtually no discomfort during the LASIK procedure. No needles are used, as eye drop anesthesia is instilled directly onto the eye prior to the procedure. Results indicate that, post-procedure, we have never had a patient request pain medication.

Our patients tell us that they are so well prepared by our clinic's staff before the procedure that any fear, anxiety and concerns were gone! A mild sedative pill taken just before surgery soothes away any lingering concerns.

Is there any pain after the LASIK eye surgery?

Most of our patients experience no pain or discomfort after the procedure. Some have a little watering of the eyes and mild burning sensation. One may have a mild to moderate foreign body sensation for a few hours following surgery, but after about 3-4 hours, the eye normally feels comfortable. Most people feel fine if they can take a nap soon after the treatment.

What if I blink?

A small retaining device will be used to keep your lids open and prevent blinking. There is no way you will be able to blink and hurt yourself or your visual outcome.
