When Should I Call My Doctor?

< Back to FAQ

After LASIK eye surgery, like any medical procedure, it will take some time to fully heal. Immediately after surgery you will feel some discomfort, but these symptoms should improve rapidly.

We at Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center, give you postoperative instructions to ensure the best results of your surgery. Follow these postoperative instructions carefully. Healing is an important part of the process.

During your recovery, contact Dr. Feldman immediately if:

  • You experience severe eye pain.
  • Symptoms that are supposed to be temporary, such as foggy vision and burning, are getting worse or lasting a long time.
  • You get hit or poked in the eye.

During the postoperative period, you will have follow-up appointments. We at Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center will monitor the progress of your recovery. Be sure to discuss any changes, issues, or questions during these appointments. Contact us if you have concerns in between these appointments.

Remember healing is a process. Most people have dramatically improved vision immediately but healing is not complete until 3 - 6 months after surgery. For some people the full benefit of the surgery might take longer to occur depending on their initial prescription and their healing.
