What can you expect in the days and weeks following LASIK surgery? That day of surgery, your eyes will be very sensitive to light.
You may have a lot of watering. It may feel like there's a little eyelash or dirty contact
in your eye. By the next morning, that feeling should really be subsiding.
And for the first one to two days after surgery, you may or may not have a little discomfort.
But after that, the discomfort should be resolved. As far vision, about 80% of your vision
returns by the very next morning. And then, over the following three weeks to three months,
depending on how fast you heal, the vision will return fully and stabilize.
