LASIK & Vision Correction
Q1: Am I a good candidate for LASIK?
A: Most healthy adults with stable vision, adequate corneal thickness, and no significant eye disease may be eligible. A full evaluation determines if LASIK, PRK, or ICL is the best option for you.
Q2: Does LASIK hurt?
A: No. Numbing drops are used, and most patients feel only pressure for a few seconds. Discomfort is minimal and brief.
Q3: How long is the recovery after LASIK?
A: Most people see well within 24–48 hours and return to work in 1–2 days. Your vision continues to sharpen over a few weeks.
Cataracts & Surgery
Q4: When should I have cataract surgery?
A: When vision impacts your daily activities or quality of life. You don’t need to wait for a cataract to “mature.”
Q5: Will I still need glasses after cataract surgery?
A: It depends on the type of lens implant. Advanced lenses can reduce or eliminate your need for glasses, but results vary by individual.
Q6: Is laser cataract surgery better?
A: Laser-assisted surgery offers added precision in certain steps of the procedure, but traditional techniques are also highly effective. The best approach depends on your eye.
Cornea & Transplants
Q7: What are the signs of corneal disease?
A: Blurred vision, glare, halos, or eye discomfort. Common conditions include Fuchs' dystrophy, keratoconus, and scars from trauma or infection.
Q8: What is DMEK or DSEK?
A: These are advanced forms of corneal transplant that replace only the damaged inner layer of the cornea. They offer faster healing and lower rejection risk.
Appointments & Recovery
Q9: What should I expect on surgery day?
A: You'll receive detailed instructions beforehand. Most procedures are outpatient, with light sedation. Recovery is usually quick, and discomfort is minimal.
