How long will it take before I can see well, and how long will
it take before I have my best vision?
Fast visual recovery characterizes this operation. Most patients
achieve good vision the day of surgery and find that their eyes feel
fairly normal within a day.
Right after
the procedure you see as if looking behind water. In about 4 hours the
vision will be clearer.
While your eyes are healing, it is normal for your vision to go back
and forth between clear and blurry phases for several weeks.
However, vision can continue to improve, and best vision can still
take two to three months to occur, particularly with higher
prescriptions. If necessary, adjustments to the surgery called
enhancements can be done. Patients who undergo hyperopic LASIK often
need to wait longer to able to see clearly. Typically, they are
unable to see with intense clarity for one or two weeks, with best
vision coming in several months post-operatively.
