LASIK Recovery, After-Care & Safety in Kolkata
From ₹20,500/eye • US-FDA approved laser platforms
Recovery timeline
- First 4–6 hours: watering, mild burning, light sensitivity — rest with eyes closed
- Next morning: follow-up check; most people can see well enough to move around and use a phone
- Day 2–3: desk work and screens, with regular breaks and lubricating drops
- Week 1: driving once your follow-up confirms legal vision; light exercise
- Weeks 2–4: swimming, contact sports and eye make-up allowed after your doctor clears you
- 1–3 months: vision fully stable; night halos typically settle
Dry eye after LASIK
Temporary dryness is common for the first few weeks to months because some corneal nerves are cut when the flap is made. Preservative-free lubricating drops, screen breaks and staying hydrated help — Kolkata's heat and air-conditioning can make it more noticeable. People with existing dry eye may be advised SMILE or a surface treatment instead.
Is LASIK safe?
LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures in medicine, and serious sight-threatening complications are rare when candidates are properly screened. Most problems — dryness, glare, under- or over-correction — are temporary or treatable. The single most important safety step is the pre-operative evaluation, which excludes eyes (such as keratoconus or very thin corneas) where LASIK isn't appropriate.
