Our 20/20 LASIK Blog

At the 20/20 Institute, we pamper and take care of you from the beginning to the end of the process of your LASIK procedure. We take the time to answer your questions and make sure you understand all of your pre- and post-operative instructions.

While LASIK is a relatively safe and painless procedure it is still surgery and you must adhere to all of the instructions given to your by your surgeon and the staff members at the 20/20 Institute. After your procedure it is normal to feel burning, itching or the sensation of a foreign body in your eye. It is also normal for your eyes to water or to feel dry and to have some sensitivity to light.

The morning after your procedure we will see you in our office, evaluate your progress and any symptoms you may be having. For most, the process is smooth and complications are rare.

If at any time you feel severe pain or your vision becomes worse, please call us immediately. Don't try to put anything in your eyes (other than medicines we've given you) or rub your eyes. We'll get back to you right away and let you know what to do and if we need to see you.

If you have further questions about the possible complications from LASIK surgery, please don't hesitate to contact the 20/20 Institute offices for help.
