Before LASIK Eye Surgery
While preparing for LASIK eye surgery may not be quite as difficult as other types of surgery, there are some things you need to prepare for.
Since the surgery is dependent on the shape and measurement of your cornea, and you must let it regain its shape, your doctor will ask that you stop wearing your contact lenses in the weeks before LASIK vision correction procedure.
Here are some FDA recommendations
based on your contact lenses:
• Soft contact lenses should be removed and not worn for at least two weeks prior to your LASIK evaluation.
• Rigid gas permeable lenses should be removed and not worn for at least three weeks prior to LASIK evaluation.
• Hard lenses should be removed and not worn for at least four weeks prior to LASIK evaluation.
You will be asked to stop using any lotions, perfumes, or creams the day before the surgery as well as any makeup that may cause debris to get in the eye.
Finally, you should definitely arrange with a loved one for transportation to and from the LASIK surgery because you will experience a temporary impairment in your vision and will not be able to drive yourself home.
