If my eyes are light sensitive, will the red laser used during LASIK be hard to stare at?

Filed under: all laser lasik — admin @ 9:04 pm

I’m having Custom LASIK done next week and I’m nervous about having to stare into the laser for the procedure because my eyes are light sensitive. Has anyone with light sensitive eyes had difficulty during LASIK?

Also, ladies…my doctor recommends that I not rub my eyes for a month after surgery, how many of you wore eye makeup after surgery such as mascara? Did you have a difficult time taking it off?

Thanks!!

I had Lasik eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn’t hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have LASIK. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I’ve seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had LASIK done and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they’re not just a blurry mess anymore). It’s also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.
