Frequently asked questions about refractive surgery

When will I be able to return to sport?

Low-intensity sporting activities can be resumed at approximately one week after the operationprovided that they do not involve a risk of direct impact on the eyes or exposure to dust or water (such as football, swimming or paddle tennis). In any case, prior consultation with an ophthalmologist is recommended.

Are there any risks with this surgery?

All surgery carries certain risks, but the most common risk is that the refractive surgery is a safe and widely scientifically validated procedure.. Recent studies indicate that it presents an even lower risk than prolonged contact lens wear under sub-optimal hygiene conditions.

Are both eyes operated on at the same time?

Yes, unless there is a specific medical contraindication, both eyes are operated on during the same surgical session, which allows for a simultaneous and more comfortable visual recovery for the patient.

How long does the intervention last?

The surgery is short and efficient. The time in the operating theatre is usually no more than 15 minutes in totalThe laser application takes only a few seconds per eye. The rest of the time is spent on preparation and precise positioning of the patient.

Am I a candidate for refractive surgery?

If you have over 18 years olda stable graduation and a healthy eye conditionyou will probably be eligible.

Is it painful and what are the risks?

No. All refractive surgeries are performed under drop anaesthesia, with no pain during the procedure. The patient may experience mild discomfort or a gritty sensation during the first few hours after the procedure, especially in PRK.

The risks are very low when the surgery is performed by qualified specialists using state-of-the-art technology, as in the case of Dr. Nowrouzi. Some possible complications include temporary dry eye, night halos or the need for retouching in very high prescriptions, but these are rare and treatable.

What if I move my eye unintentionally?

There is no risk. An eye separator (blepharostat) is used to hold the eye open safely throughout the procedure, preventing unintentional blinking.

Will I get stitches after the operation?

No. The surgery is minimally invasive. In techniques such as LASIK, the thin corneal layer that is lifted is carefully repositioned at the end and adheres on its own thanks to the natural properties of the corneal tissue, without the need for sutures.

When will I be able to resume my normal life?

In most cases, the patient can rest at home for the first 24 hours. Depending on the technique used and the dioptres corrected, visual recovery may vary, but most patients resume normal activity within 24 hours. 48 and 72 hours later.

What care should I follow after the operation?

The following are prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye dropsThe patient should also use artificial tears, which should be applied during the first few days to promote healing and prevent infection. It is important to follow the specialist's instructions to the letter.
