Your LASIK Procedure
Your LASIK Procedure Step-by-Step
You’re ready for LASIK, and the process is designed to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. The procedure begins with anesthetic drops applied to your eyes, ensuring they are completely numb and you remain relaxed throughout.
The procedure typically takes around 10-15 minutes per eye. While vision improvement begins soon after, some initial blurriness is normal as your eyes heal. Dr. Tanchel will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions, including using prescribed eye drops and wearing protective shields to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.

Your Recovery
Recovery and Follow-up Care After LASIK
Most people return to work and normal activities within 24- 48 hours after their procedure. Keep in mind you must be seen for a post-op appointment the next day. NO rubbing the eye! NO swimming or contact sports for at least one week and avoid excessive use of alcoholic beverages for a few days following surgery as it causes dehydration, which can increase dry eye symptoms.
You will be provided with specific post-operative instructions from our patient counselor prior to your treatment. Dr. Tanchel may offer specific advice depending on your lifestyle, interests, and clinical exam.
