Lasik usually takes less than 10 minutes. Because general anesthesia or “being put to sleep” has its own risks and would significantly increase the cost of Lasik, it is not used during the procedure.
If you’re concerned you’ll be anxious or shaky during your lasik procedure, your doctor will give you a mild sedative or anti-anxiety medication to help you relax.
Most patients remark how fast the surgery is done and how it was much easier and less stressful than they expected.
Can I use the same prescription for contacts as glasses?
🤓
Eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions are NOT the same. Different measurements, such as base curve and lens diameter are needed for contact lenses. Not only that, but the lens power is often modified from eyeglasses to contacts.
An accurate contact lens prescription can only be written after a contact lens fitting has been performed.
If you want glasses AND contact lenses, be sure to tell your doctor so he/she can assess your eyes properly and write prescriptions for both.
