As you step out of our Brisbane clinic, you might notice an almost immediate enhancement in your eyesight.Why are LASIK results so fast?LASIK (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is a sophisticated and minimally invasive procedure designed to reshape the cornea, the clear front surface of your eye. This reshaping allows light to focus precisely onto the retina, which is crucial for clear vision. Unlike traditional eyewear or contacts, LASIK addresses the cause of your vision problems (being your cornea). This gives you a chance to enjoy the world naturally.Adapting to your new visionWhile immediate improvement is common, it’s important to note that your vision might continue to evolve over the first few days following LASIK. Your eyes need a short period to adjust to their new state, and during this time, you may experience minor fluctuations in clarity.1https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0886335015011797 Don’t be alarmed – this is a normal part of the healing process.Tips for a smooth transitionTo optimise your recovery and enjoy the best possible results, follow these tips:Rest and Recovery: Your eyes need some rest after LASIK.
