LASIK eye surgery is a medical procedure that can correct your vision by altering the physical properties of your eye. Unlike traditional surgical procedures that depend upon the skills and steadiness of the surgeon's hand, advanced LASIK eye surgery is computer controlled.LASIK eye surgery is also called refractive surgery because it will reshape the cornea, therefore improving the ability to focus clearly.LASIK eye surgery is probably the safest, quickest and easiest way to improve your vision. The healing process happens quickly and for most patients, the process is uneventful. As you start to get back into your normal daily activities, there are certain things you'll need to avoid - * Don't get involved in any activities that could result in an object coming into contact with your eyes. * When you shower, don't allow the water stream to hit your eyes. * Don't get soap or shampoo in your eyes. * Don't get dust or pet hair in your eyes. * Don't rub your eyes. * Don't go out in bright sunlight without sun glasses. * Don't let your eyes get too dry - use the artificial tears as often as needed. * Don't rub your eyes while you're sleeping - a special mask, provided by your doctor will protect your eyes while sleeping.It is absolutely imperative that you faithfully follow your doctor's schedule for medications, especially during the first week after your procedure. You've probably been given a steroid based medication to promote quick healing, so be sure to use it. Also, you may have been prescribed antibiotic eye drops to prevent an infection, so be sure to use them as recommended.Your eyes are important and you'll want to protect them thru the healing process. Be absolutely sure to follow your doctor's instructions and you should have a quick, successful recovery!
