After a thorough review of your medical history, current condition, and post-LASIK healing, they can prescribe the most suitable pain relief treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_Eye_Pain_After_LASIK_Settle_on_Its_Own\"><\/span>Does Eye Pain After LASIK Settle on Its Own?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, dull eye pain may linger for 2-3 months after LASIK surgery. However, the recovery timeline may differ for everyone. This may be due to post-op dryness or light sensitivity. However, if pain lasts longer and if it feels too sharp, it might point to a complication-related issue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on the cause of your pain, you may be prescribed:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oral medication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nerve medication<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Eye surface protection lenses (scleral lenses or bandages, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lubricant eye drops\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anti-inflammatory eye drops\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*Treatment depends on the specific underlying cause and may differ from person to person.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-background has-fixed-layout\" style=\"background:linear-gradient(135deg,rgb(255,245,203) 0%,rgb(182,227,212) 100%,rgb(51,167,181) 100%)\"><tbody><tr><td><em><strong>IMPORTANT TO NOTE:<\/strong> Sharp pain or debilitating discomfort 6 months after LASIK surgery is not common among LASIK patients.
