does eye surgery hurt?!


Question: Does eye surgery hurt?
Not actually during the surgery but after wards? Do your eyes need a recovery time before you can use them or can you do the surgery and walk right out of the doctors office?

Answers:

if you mean Lasik surgery the answer is... You wear plastic lenses taped over your eyes for 2 days and 7 nights afterwords. I can't say there is pain, but it feels scratchy and uncomfortable (like you would like to rub them. Yes, you really can see right away, although it may be a bit blurry from the meds they give you. You need to have someone with you because you can't drive. I'd say within 3 hours I was really thrown off by the things that I was able to see that I had never known were there. For example the outline of each leaf on a tree. although you didn't ask, the surgery itself does"t hurt the only thing that was icky was the thing they hold your eye open with. feels like your eye went to the GYN Dr. LOL. You have to put in 2 kinds of antibiotics for 2 weeks and use eye drops for the rest of your life (you don't HAVE too but you see better, more clearly when your eyes are wet, it's not a pain in the neck or anything - look in the stores, some eye drops are made just for lasik ppl). I would do it again in a heartbeat!



Lasik Surgery? It doesn't really hurt and for me the healing recovery was 2 hours not fully-healed. It took 24 hours to fully recover or heal. After the surgery they'll cover your eyes for about an hour then after that they'll put a no grade contact lens and a protective glasses. You can take a bath but just below your head.. don't rub your eyes. The next day I went back to the surgeon then they removed the contact lens. After that I wear nothing.. I just put medicines.
That's from my experience don't know what the others had said.



Depends on the type of eye surgery. Some of them hurt more than others.

of course
