YOU HAVE QUESTIONS...
Who is a candidate?
Potential candidates are at least 18 years of age, have stable vision for at least 12 months, have healthy eyes, and have realistic expectations.
Will I still need glasses after LASIK?
Most patients do not need glasses after LASIK. However, patients
who are over the age of 40 may still need to wear reading glasses because of the normal aging process of the eye. Qualified patients may opt for monovision LASIK, which can lessen dependence on reading glasses as well. You will speak with Dr. Behforouz at your consultation to determine what works best for you.
Does LASIK hurt?
Your eyes will be numbed with eye drops prior to the procedure, and you will be given a mild sedative to help you relax. Some patients do experience mild discomfort during the first 12-24 hours, but this is typically just a minor scratchy sensation.
When can I return to my normal activities?
You can return to most of your usual activities, like working, driving, and exercising one day after LASIK. Swimming and other contact sports should be delayed for at least two weeks. We will discuss all restrictions during your consultation.
