How long does LASIK eye surgery take to perform? How long will my recovery be?
The actual LASIK eye surgery at our Sacramento area office requires about 1 to 2 minutes per eye, depending on the degree of correction needed. Usually, both eyes are treated in a single visit. You will typically notice an improvement in your vision within hours of the procedure. Most people can drive the day after eye surgery and return to work in between two and four days. Many patients therefore prefer to be treated on a Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday to minimize their time away from work.
