What Does Post-Operative Care Involve?

A four-week reducing course of topical steroid and a shorter course of topical antibiotic is required. Most patients see well within a day of the surgery but it sometimes may take up to a week to achieve very good distance vision. Patients will usually be advised to attend their optometrist after 6 weeks to get a new refraction, which may only be required for a reading prescription.

Patients can usually restart most of their daily activities from within a week of their surgery.
