What Is It Like to Get LASIK Surgery at Durrie Vision?

When you visit Durrie Vision, you’ll find that everyone around you is positive, calming, and welcoming. The room for your procedure has peaceful, dim lighting, so you feel at ease. Listen, and you’ll hear light music playing in the background to comfort you. Blankets are available, and so are snacks and drinks, to help you feel as welcome and cozy as possible.

When you meet with your refractive surgery team, you’ll find that we meet your feelings with empathy. If you’re apprehensive, we’re supportive and gentle. If you like having details explained to you, we’re knowledgeable and informative. We’re here to meet your needs. The person you’ve chosen to drive you home from your LASIK surgery can wait for you in our recovery space afterwards, so you’ll know that a family member or friend is close by.

During your procedure, which only takes about 10 to 15 minutes, we offer you a small amount of medication to feel calm, if you wish. We also ensure that you get prescription-strength numbing drops for your eyes to maximize your comfort. The entire team that meets with you, including Dr. Stahl, who performs your LASIK surgery, will talk you through everything that happens during your procedure.

As you undergo LASIK, you’ll experience three gentle sensations:

• We put drops in your eyes so they remain moist, and you won’t need to blink.
• We use a gentle device that keeps your eyes open.
• During the actual LASIK procedure, you will feel slight pressure – and then it’s over!

Is There Pain During Recovery From SBK Advanced LASIK?

Some patients have minimal symptoms after surgery, but it is important to note that not all patients experience this discomfort, and you can take action to alleviate them. These symptoms include mild irritation, sensitivity to bright light, or the feeling that something is caught in your eye.

We recommend taking these steps to get relief from these minor sensations:

• Take ibuprofen, acetaminophen, or naproxen.
• Use your artificial tears as directed by our team to encourage healing.
• Apply prescription eye drops to prevent inflammation and infection.

The next day, you’ll attend a one-day post-operative exam, which allows us to check on you after your procedure. If you feel any discomfort during the first 24 hours, we can help. Our patients typically report that they’re feeling completely normal again after that first 24 hours, so we expect that most patients who undergo LASIK surgery will be back to work, driving, and living life as usual. You’ll be able to enjoy seeing with LASIK, plus all the benefits that come with this procedure.

What About the Cost of LASIK? Is That Pain-Free?

The cost of LASIK is far more affordable than a lifetime of contacts or glasses. In fact, a LASIK procedure is a fraction of that cost, especially when you bundle the value of LASIK with these other ways to make LASIK more affordable:

• Special financing options, including $0 down and no interest for the first 24 months.
• Use your FSA or HSA benefits for your laser eye surgery.
• Friends and family discounts.
• Discounts for military and first responders.
• Additional limited-time promotions and offers.

Not only will your LASIK surgery feel as comfortable and pain-free as possible, but you won’t have to worry about blowing your budget to see without glasses or contacts. You can achieve epic vision with the help of our team.
