Post-Surgery Care
The hours immediately following your Intralase-assisted procedure are the most important for the healing of the corneal flap. When you leave Liv Hospital, your vision will be blurry, and your eyes may feel a bit irritated, as if there is a grain of sand in them.
Taking a long nap is the best way to let your eyes begin the stabilization process undisturbed by blinking or light.
You will be given a specific schedule for eye drops that are vital for your recovery. These drops prevent infection and control the inflammation that occurs naturally after surgery.
Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying any drops. Be careful not to let the tip of the bottle touch your eye or any other surface, as maintaining a sterile environment is key to a complication-free recovery.
It is normal for your vision to fluctuate during the first few days. You might find that your vision is sharper in the morning and slightly blurrier in the evening as your eyes get tired.
These symptoms are temporary and are signs that your eyes are adjusting to their new, corrected shape.
For the first week, your eyes are more susceptible to irritation and infection. Protection from the environment is a top priority.

Following these guidelines ensures that you don’t accidentally displace the corneal flap or introduce bacteria into the healing eye.
Your recovery will be closely monitored through a series of scheduled appointments at Liv Hospital. Even if you feel your vision is perfect, attending these visits is mandatory.

Surgery addresses your current refractive error, but your eyes still require lifelong care to stay healthy.
Protecting your visual investment means being proactive about your overall health and eye safety for years to come.
While complications are extremely rare with the blade-free Intralase method, you should know the warning signs. Contact the emergency line at Liv Hospital immediately if you experience:
