How long do I have to keep my soft contact lenses out before LASIK surgery?

Soft contacts usually reshape the surface of the cornea. Therefore, these lenses should be removed a minimum of three to four days before the surgery. Additional testing should be performed before the surgery to ascertain that enough time has passed. Those individuals wearing lenses with astigmatism correction or higher prescriptions should remove their lenses for longer periods of time.

For a complimentary LASIK evaluation, contact ClearView Eye and Laser Medical Center.
