Should I stop wearing contact lenses before LASIK?

Dr. Sandy T. Feldman recommends that her patients stop wearing their contact lenses for a number of days or even weeks before having LASIK or other laser vision correction procedures.

It has been found that the cornea is reshaped when contacts are worn. When contacts are removed for a sufficient amount of time, the surface of the eye returns to its natural shape. We can then accurately measure and test the eye using state-of-the-art technology to develop a personalized vision correction treatment plan.
