How long does a procedure take? The laser treatment itself usually takes less than a minute, while the entire procedure usually takes between 15 and 20 minutes. How long until I can resume normal activities? In most cases, people can return to work within 1-3 days following LASIK surgery. Excluding the day of surgery itself, people may begin driving as soon as they see well enough. Women can start wearing makeup one week after treatment, however, they are advised to wear only new cosmetics in order to decrease risk of infection. Will my vision remain stable long after the procedure? The vision correction is permanent. However, a person’s vision may change naturally with time and LASIK does not affect visual conditions that may develop with age. Also, LASIK does not prevent presbyopia and the eventual need for reading glasses. Depending on the cause, retreatment may be a viable solution to later vision changes, and other treatment options also exist. What happens during a procedure? For both Lasik and PRK the actual laser treatment that reshapes the corneal surface is exactly the same. The differences in treatment are in how the top layer of the cornea is removed or lifted to allow the laser to the underlying layer.. LASIK Eye Surgery PRK Eye Surgery.
