Overview
What to expect from LASIK Surgery
LASIK reshapes the cornea using a precise laser to correct refractive errors, reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses and contact lenses. MedVocs' ophthalmologists offer bladeless techniques for enhanced precision and safety.
The procedure takes only minutes per eye, and most patients notice significantly improved vision within 24 hours.

How to prepare (before surgery)
- Attend a pre-surgery consultation where your surgeon reviews your history, examines you, and explains the procedure and expected outcome.
- Complete any pre-operative tests advised — such as blood tests, ECG, or imaging — so you can be confirmed fit for surgery.
- Tell your surgeon about all medicines you take (especially blood thinners like aspirin), and any allergies — some may need to be paused before surgery.
- Eat lightly and stay hydrated unless your surgeon advises otherwise — prolonged fasting is usually not required.
- Arrange for a family member or friend to accompany you and take you home after the procedure.
- Stop wearing contact lenses for the period advised before an eye assessment, and arrange for someone to drive you home.
What happens during the procedure — step by step
- 1
Numbing eye drops are applied and a device gently holds your eyelids open — no injection or needle is involved.
- 2
A precise laser creates a thin flap in the cornea, which the surgeon lifts back.
- 3
A cool excimer laser reshapes the corneal tissue to correct your vision, guided by your prescription map.
- 4
The flap is repositioned, where it settles naturally without stitches, and the same is repeated for the other eye.
Recovery & what to expect afterwards
- You are observed in a recovery area for a few hours and, in most cases, discharged the same day once you are stable.
- Most patients return to light daily activities within a recovery window of about 1–7 days, depending on individual healing.
- You will receive clear instructions on wound care, medication, diet, and activity, plus a scheduled follow-up to review your progress.
Aftercare & precautions
- Take prescribed medicines (including any antibiotics or pain relief) exactly as directed, and keep the surgical area clean and dry.
- Avoid heavy lifting, strenuous exercise, and driving until your surgeon confirms it is safe to resume them.
- Watch for warning signs — increasing pain, swelling, bleeding, discharge, or fever — and contact your care team promptly if they occur.
- Attend all follow-up appointments so healing can be checked and any stitches or dressings managed on time.
- Use the prescribed eye drops on schedule, avoid rubbing or splashing water in the eye, and wear protective shields or sunglasses as advised.
