Did anyone else have to use lubricating drops before Lasik?!


Question: Did anyone else have to use lubricating drops before Lasik!?
The doctor told me that my right eye was to dry and I needed to take these lubricating drops for a few days, and then come back so they could check if the dryness went away!. Now I'm scared that maybe I shouldn't get Lasik after all because my eye is too dry!. Or is it common for people to take these drops before Lasik!?!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Dry eye condition that is experienced before surgery may hamper the eye surgery procedure as well as the healing process!. Signs of dryness are burning, redness and decreased vision!. If this dry eye condition persists, you may have to medicate to improve tear duct function and use artificial tears to maintain the proper level of moisture!. You must keep your eyes moist before and also after LASIK surgery in order to promote healing!.

If you wear contact lenses, either soft contacts or rigid contacts, you should stop wearing your contacts at least three weeks before your initial evaluation by the doctor!. On the day of surgery, you shouldn't wear makeup or perfumes!. Also, don't wear any fuzzy clothing that is likely to disperse lint!.

Make sure that someone goes with you on the day of surgery, since you'll need someone to drive you home after the LASIK procedure!. Before the surgery, the doctor may give you medicine to relax you and your vision may be a little blurry immediately following surgery!. Also, special eye drops are administered prior to the procedure which can cause additional, but temporary blurriness!.

LASIK eye surgery is relatively safe and it can free you from glasses and contacts!. Before you commit to LASIK surgery, make sure that you consider all the advantages and disadvantages of having the procedure!. Ask the doctor lots of questions so that you can make an informed decision about whether LASIK eye surgery is the right choice for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
