Laser eye surgery is there a lot of aftercare?


Answer:
Unable to comment personally, but this is from the website below: 'As your eye heals the vision may fluctuate during the first three weeks after surgery. It's not unusual to notice:
Occasional blurring of vision.
Greater sensitivity to light.
A gritty, irritated feeling.
Some difference in sensation or vision between eyes.
However, the vision should always be at a reasonable level during this healing phase. Keep in mind these simple guidelines while your eye is recovering:
Do not use eyedrops other than those prescribed by us.
Do not rub your eye vigorously for one month following surgery.
No body-contact sport for 4 weeks following surgery.
No swimming for at least one week (ocean or pool).
No eye make-up for one week.
Take extra care, for one week, when bathing or washing your hair to avoid getting soap or shampoo in your eyes.
Do not drive until your vision is adequate for both day and night. This usually takes about two days. Your vision will be tested the morning after surgery, and you will be advised.
You will need to have periodic aftercare visits. These generally take place at 1-2 weeks, one month, three months, and six months after surgery. These visits are included in the surgical fee. Alternatively, you may make appointments with your local optometrist or ophthalmologist if that is more convenient for you.' You might like to visit the second website too, as it gives lots of information on the subject.
Laser eye surgery is very safe nowadays. My cousin got her dental implants and lasik surgery in India by a company called Forerunners Healthcare. The Price for dental and lasik surgery is very less in India. She paid 25% of the price she was quoted in America.Forerunners Healthcare is very famous in India They arrange Dental surgery, jaw surgery, lasik eye surgery, Dental Implants etc for foreign patients in India. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and magazines- about their patient stories.
They arrange financing for USA, Canadian, UK and other international patients who plan to have surgery abroad for low cost, as dental and eye surgery is not covered by insurance. They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. There are huge cost savings. As a doctor I personally believe that surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of healthcare available In India is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.http://www.forerunnershealthcare.com...
Hope this helps.
