When can I drive or work?
After LASIK, we usually recommend three or four days rest and after LASEK usually one week.
How long does the surgery take?
Both LASIK and LASEK are performed as an outpatient procedure, normally taking less than half an hour, although the whole process may take up to half a day in the surgical outpatient centre.
What is the process of assessment and treatment?
The initial consultation and tests may take up to two hours depending on the treatment requested and complexity. If you are found to be suitable for surgery and you have considered the potential benefits and risks and choose to go ahead then laser surgery, either LASIK or LASEK, is usually carried out in our partner centre at Optegra in Guildford.
