This fear is not unnatural because the idea of a laser in the eyes is quite intimidating. People think that it\u2019s going to hurt a lot, and after surgery, other issues will arise. So, is LASIK surgery painful, or is it just another medical myth?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, to know this, one first needs to understand why LASIK surgery is done and what happens during and after the procedure. Yes, this is what we will be discussing in this blog, so that you don\u2019t have any doubts about your eye treatments.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_79_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Read more on:<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#When_Should_You_Get_LASIK_Surgery\" >When Should You Get LASIK Surgery?<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#Myopia_or_Nearsightedness\" >Myopia or Nearsightedness:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#Hyperopia_or_Farsightedness\" >Hyperopia or Farsightedness:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#Astigmatism\" >Astigmatism:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#What_Happens_During_LASIK_Eye_Surgery\" >What Happens During LASIK Eye Surgery?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#What_Happens_After_LASIK_Eye_Surgery\" >What Happens After LASIK Eye Surgery?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/is-lasik-eye-surgery-painful\/#Ending_Note\" >Ending Note:&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_Should_You_Get_LASIK_Surgery\"><\/span>When Should You Get LASIK Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">LASIK surgery is done fix these vision problems:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Myopia_or_Nearsightedness\"><\/span>Myopia or Nearsightedness:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What happens in Myopia is that one\u2019s distant view becomes blurry. It means that they can see things up close like a book or mobile screen, but struggle to get a clear view of things that are at a distance, like road signs, watching TV while sitting on the sofa, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Hyperopia_or_Farsightedness\"><\/span>Hyperopia or Farsightedness:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People with hyperopia experience exactly the opposite of what people with myopia do. Farsighted things appear clear to them, but they struggle to see things close up.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Astigmatism\"><\/span>Astigmatism:&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a condition that affects a person\u2019s total vision, which means both their farsighted and nearsighted vision are compromised, and the world appears distorted or blurry to them without glasses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you have any of these, you can get a LASIK surgery, but you need to be declared perfectly fit for the surgery by your surgeon. You must have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A stable vision prescription for a year.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No signs of diseases like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/cataract\">cataracts<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/glaucoma\">glaucoma<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/dry-eyes\">dry eyes<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Healthy corneas<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Overall good general health\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No pregnancy or lactation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_During_LASIK_Eye_Surgery\"><\/span>What Happens During LASIK Eye Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is LASIK eye surgery painful? The answer lies in the surgical procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Numbing eye drops are used in the patient\u2019s eye to eliminate the chances of irritation as the patient stays awake throughout the surgery. (Remember, despite being awake, the patient can\u2019t feel anything because their eyes are numb.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A thin flap is created on the corneal surface using the femtosecond laser.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>After that, the doctor slightly lifts the flap to expose the cornea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then, the cornea is reshaped with either an excimer laser or a femtosecond laser based on the vision problem the patient has.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The flap is then placed back.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>*Note:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In more advanced LASIK surgeries such as SMILE Pro, PRK, and Epi LASIK, <strong>no flap is created.<\/strong> So, how painful do you think these surgeries are? <strong>They are actually 100% painless<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Happens_After_LASIK_Eye_Surgery\"><\/span>What Happens After LASIK Eye Surgery?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, LASIK surgery isn\u2019t painful. But another question arises: is LASIK eye surgery painful afterwards? Here\u2019s what happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>After the surgery, it takes a few hours to be able to see clearly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mild irritation may be there, but patients don\u2019t usually experience this as they rest during those hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>They often get back to their regular activities in <strong>24-48 hours<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ending_Note\"><\/span><strong>Ending Note:&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through LASIK surgery, thousands of people have been able to see clearly without the help of glasses and live comfortably and confidently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, even though LASIK eye surgery is a one-day procedure, the preparation starts a week before. Your surgeon advises you to <strong>stop using contact lenses, eye makeup, etc.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Sohana Eye Hospital, be it LASIK or any other vision correction surgery, our experienced team of ophthalmologists&nbsp; takes total care of the patients, right from consultation to post-surgery care.
