Excellent place from the start of the consultation to the finish of the surgery. Highly recommend staff is very nice. They are like one big family. Lasik took only a couple minutes and within the next few days I was feeling great and seeing clear, which I never was able to see so clear without glasses or contacts before. If you’re on the fence to do it or not go for it, especially at Dello Russo.

How Long Does LASIK Surgery Take?

The procedure is quite brief, usually taking less than half an hour to complete. Prior to the surgery, you'll receive numbing eye drops before the procedure; additionally, if necessary, medication can be administered to help you stay calm and relaxed. Following the surgery, it's important to shield your eyes to safeguard your corneas and avoid rubbing them. It's advisable to consult your doctor regarding the duration of the entire procedure.

How Long Is the Recovery Time After LASIK?

Your recovery process entails resting your eyes for several hours immediately post-procedure. Therefore, your doctor will likely advise you to take a nap or unwind in a dimly lit room once you're home. It's important to refrain from activities that strain your eyes, such as reading or using screens. Most daily activities can typically be resumed the day following the surgery. During your follow-up appointment, scheduled 24-48 hours after the procedure, your surgeon will assess your healing progress and may give you clearance to drive and return to work. However, it's crucial to continue being cautious with your eyes for several weeks, so ensure you adhere closely to your surgeon’s instructions.

Am I a Good Candidate for LASIK?

While most individuals qualify for LASIK, not everyone is an ideal candidate. To be considered a suitable candidate for LASIK, your surgeon will assess whether your eyes, body, and overall health meet the necessary criteria for the procedure. You must be at least 18 years old and have reached a stage where both your hormones and vision have stabilized. Therefore, pregnant and nursing patients should consider waiting until menstruation has returned to normal. Additionally, good overall health is crucial, as conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes or a compromised immune system may elevate surgical risks. Lastly, your eyes should be healthy and free of disease or injury, with corneas that are at least 0.5mm thick.

Can I Return to Work the Next Day After My LASIK Procedure?

Following your surgery, you'll schedule a post-operative appointment with your surgeon within 24-48 hours to assess your healing progress, any improvements in your vision, and address any symptoms or side effects you may encounter. During this visit, your doctor will also determine if you're cleared to drive, although night driving may remain challenging for a brief period. Additionally, you'll likely receive clearance to return to work if you haven't already done so. It's important to continue exercising caution to avoid rubbing your eyes or exposing them to foreign substances.

How Common Are Complications After LASIK?

LASIK stands as one of the safest elective surgeries available today, boasting a complication rate of less than 1%. Consequently, serious complications from LASIK are rare, yet it's beneficial to be mindful of potential risks and side effects that may occur more commonly. Although side effects like dry eye, glare, halos, double vision, or light sensitivity typically diminish as the eyes heal, there's a slight chance they may persist. Additional risks encompass flap complications, corneal inflammation or infection, as well as over, under, or uneven correction. It's noteworthy that only 1.2% of patients express dissatisfaction with their vision improvement post-LASIK, highlighting the rarity of complications.

How Likely Will I Get 20/20 Vision After LASIK?

A recent review of 97 peer-reviewed clinical studies found that 90.8% of study participants achieved 20/20 vision or better after LASIK eye surgery and 99.5% achieved 20/40 vision or better. These statistics can be improved with more precise surgical methods, including custom LASIK and using technology like wavefront mapping to identify higher-order vision errors. At Dello Russo Laser Vision, we only perform custom procedures using the latest technology and techniques to ensure we provide the best vision correction possible for each patient.

What Is the Likelihood That Something Might Go Wrong During My LASIK Procedure?

LASIK complications are exceedingly rare, occurring in fewer than 1% of patients, resulting in a very low likelihood of encountering issues during your procedure. Research indicates that the rate of complications decreases with a surgeon’s experience, underscoring the importance of selecting an experienced eye surgeon on Long Island to minimize any potential risks. Although temporary side effects are common, they typically resolve swiftly as the cornea heals. Additionally, leveraging the most modern technology not only enhances the safety of the surgery but also enables your surgeon to deliver the most precise correction possible.
