Preparing for the laser vision correction treatment
You may have breakfast before the examination, please do not come to the exam fasting.
Ladies are kindly asked not to wear makeup.
For safety reasons, the most important part of the eligibility examination is repeated, then anesthetic eye drops are administered on the cornea.
About two hours will pass from your arrival until you leave the clinic, but the treatment itself takes no more than 8 to 10 minutes.
You will experience that your vision has improved right after the laser correction, you will not need your glasses any more, but it takes a few more days for vision clarity to stabilize.
Please ask someone to come along to the treatment. Your vision will be clear after the treatment, but not clear enough to drive a car. Another person being present will give you a sense of safety.
After PRK surgeries, protective contact lenses are placed on the eyes, which will be removed at checkups; you will not have to do anything about them.
After VISUMAX, you will be given a pair of special transparent protective glasses for a day, which will not allow you to touch the treatment area intentionally or accidentally.
1 or 2 days of home rest are suggested after VISUMAX, and 4-6 days of home rest are recommended after PRK.
The eyes must be protected from UV radiation with sunglasses with 100% UV protection for 1-2 months after IntraLASIK, and for 6 months after PRK.
Some checkups will be required, and you will have to use eye drops for the outcome of the laser correction to last.
VISUMAX requires less checkups and less frequent use of eye drops for a shorter period, than PRK
