Aftercare

An eye patch or dark glasses are worn for several days. The final outcome of your corrected vision can take up to several months.

Advances in refractive surgery are being made rapidly. New procedures that are slowly replacing radial keratotomy are being used more frequently. Use of the Excimer laser has greatly improved refractive surgery. Consultation with a specialist is advised before deciding on a particular procedure.
