How do patients recover after SmartSight surgery?

Hi, it’s Dr. Russell from VSON. When I tell people I’m a LASIK surgeon, some ask me: “How do patients recover after SmartSight surgery?”.

Patients may notice a reduced quality of vision on the first day like glare and halos, which is due to post-operative corneal swelling.

However, as the corneal swelling settles down, the quality of vision will get better and over the following three months there might be further improvement in visual acuity.

With over 15 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed, I enjoy the privilege of helping patients of all ages reclaim clear vision or preserve it for as long as possible.

Vision correction and high-precision cataract surgery hinge on the expertise and skill set of the provider who also has access to the most precise tools for the job. Ophthalmic surgeons like me know how to make treatment safe, comfortable and positive for the patient. They know how to minimise the risk of complications and maximise successful outcomes.
