Is corrective eye surgery painful?
Before corrective eye surgery, we always administer anesthetic eye drops and other medications designed to ensure a calm, pain-free procedure. Most patients report that treatment is free from pain or significant discomfort. After LASIK, the recovery period should also be pain-free. Some patients experience mild discomfort during the early stages of recovery, but any pain is likely a sign that something is wrong and should be reported to Dr. Dishler immediately.
