What Can I Expect on the Day of My Vision Correction Surgery?
If you’re preparing for vision correction surgery, you may be wondering what the day of your procedure will be like. Understanding each step can help ease any nerves and ensure you feel fully prepared for your life-changing treatment.

Arriving at the Clinic
On the day of your surgery, you’ll be welcomed by our team and guided through the admission process. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing and avoiding makeup, lotions, or perfumes, as these can interfere with the procedure. A final set of checks will be performed to confirm your treatment details.

Pre-Surgery Preparation
Before your procedure, numbing eye drops will be applied to ensure your comfort. In some cases, a mild sedative may be offered to help you relax. If you wear contact lenses, you will have been advised to stop wearing them for 3 days before surgery, as they can temporarily alter the shape of your cornea. Ensuring your eyes are free from lens-related changes helps achieve the most accurate results. Your surgeon will go over the procedure again and answer any last-minute questions you may have.
During the Procedure
The actual vision correction procedure is quick, often taking just 10–15 minutes per eye. You’ll be asked to lie back and focus on a target light while the laser reshapes your cornea or your lens is implanted, depending on the procedure you’re having. Our advanced technology ensures precision and safety throughout.
Immediately After Surgery
Once the procedure is complete, you’ll rest for a short period before being discharged. Your vision may be slightly blurry at first, and your eyes may feel sensitive, watery, or gritty—this is completely normal. You’ll be provided with protective eyewear and post-operative care instructions.
Going Home and Recovery
A friend or family member will need to drive you home, as your vision won’t be clear enough to do so yourself. Most patients notice improvement within hours, with continued enhancement over the following days. It’s important to rest your eyes, avoid rubbing them, and follow the aftercare guidelines provided.
Your Follow-Up Appointments
You’ll have scheduled follow-up visits to monitor your healing and results. Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, with full recovery depending on the type of surgery performed.
