Post-Surgery Care
The first 24 to 48 hours after your procedure are a period of rapid healing. Immediately following the surgery, your vision may feel “smoky” or like you are looking through a cloud. This is normal. You may also experience a mild “gritty” sensation, as if there is a small hair in your eye. Some tearing and light sensitivity are also common. We recommend going home and napping for 3 to 4 hours with your eyes closed. This resting period is the most important part of the early healing process, as it allows the corneal flap to settle undisturbed.
Medication is the most critical part of your recovery at home. You will be prescribed a specific combination of drops to support your eyes.
It is vital to follow the schedule provided by your clinician exactly. Do not skip doses, even if your eyes feel perfect. Always wash your hands thoroughly before applying any drops to avoid introducing bacteria to the surgical site.
To protect the structural changes made to your eye, you must follow certain safety guidelines for the first few weeks.
Most patients can return to non physical work and light exercise within 48 hours, but “high risk” activities should be avoided until your doctor gives the all clear.
Sensitivity to light is a common part of the healing phase. You will likely be given a pair of dark sunglasses to wear immediately after your procedure.
Consistent use of high quality sunglasses during the first month provides significant comfort and helps the internal structures of the eye settle more quickly.
Your follow up appointments are a vital part of your care at Liv Hospital. Typically, you will have a checkup the day after surgery, then at one week, and again at one month.
These visits allow the specialist to catch any minor issues early and ensure that your recovery is proceeding exactly as planned. Skipping these visits increases the risk of undetected inflammation.
Patience is key during the recovery process. While many see 20/20 the next day, your vision may fluctuate for several weeks. You might notice that your sight is sharp in the morning but blurs slightly in the evening when your eyes are tired or dry. This is a normal part of the “neuroadaptation” process where your brain and eyes learn to work together with the new corneal shape. Most patients achieve their final, stable visual result between 1 and 3 months after the procedure.
Nearly everyone experiences some degree of dry eye after laser procedures. This happens because the laser temporarily disrupts the nerves that signal the eye to produce tears.
For most, this dryness is temporary and improves significantly over the first 6 months. If dryness persists, the specialists at Liv Hospital can provide advanced treatments like punctal plugs or prescription moisture drops.
While serious complications are extremely rare, you must be the first line of defense. Contact Liv Hospital immediately if you experience:

Most patients are cleared to drive at their one day follow up appointment, once the doctor confirms their vision meets the legal requirement.
Yes, but your eyes will likely tire quickly; it is best to limit screen time for the first 24 hours to allow for better healing.
Some patients develop small red spots on the white of the eye (bruising); these are harmless and usually disappear within two weeks.
If you rub your eye firmly in the first few days, call us immediately; we will perform a quick check to ensure the corneal flap is still in place.
