How long does it last?

New Delhi: The eyes are one of the most important organs in our body. Any slight inconvenience in the vision or around them can cause a lot of stress, and we run to the doctor. Having vision problems can be one of the most uncomfortable experiences one can have. So, wearing glasses is a way to relieve this discomfort, but it is not a permanent solution.

LASIK or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis is a surgical method that can permanently correct your vision. The procedure permanently repairs eye tissue, which improves vision. However, Lasik cannot stop the natural process of aging and vision loss.

This refractive laser surgery helps improve nearsightedness or nearsightedness, farsightedness or farsightedness, and astigmatism or curvature of the cornea.

• Drought: The surgery causes the lacrimal gland to shut down temporarily, so for the first five to six months after the surgery, you may experience dryness in your eyes. The dryness would go away over time.
• Experiencing double vision: Immediately after surgery, you may have difficulty seeing anything clearly, especially at night for a few weeks. sensitivity to light, glareand double vision are also common.
• Eye squinting problems: After surgery, you may have problems folding or removing the flap from your eye. It can even cause an infection in some cases.
• Pain: There may be little pain and discomfort in the eyes for some time after the surgery. This is caused by prolonged eye strain from watching TV, a cell phone, or reading.

Do not have surgery if:

• You are diabetic or asthmatic or suffer from diabetes or lupus
