After Your CK Procedure
under construction
Here are some common questions about
what happens after the treatment:
Will my vision improve immediately after CK?
Patients normally notice an improvement in near vision
immediately after treatment. It can take a week or so
for the vision to settle down, and some fluctuations
can continue for a few weeks, as the cornea adjusts
to its new shape and reach the final level of correction.
When can I go back to work?
Most patients find they are able to go back to work and
perform normal activities by the following day. While
recovery is very quick, it is still advisable to get
adequate rest and not strain the eyes unduly. Those
people who require very high clarity of vision for their
jobs (e.g. dentists, some computer operators) may find
work more difficult for a few days afterwards.
Will I have to wear eye patches afterwards?
There is no need to wear patches or bandages on the eyes
after CK. You should bring a pair of sunglasses with
you on the day of treatment to reduce any glare from
sunlight. You may have a temporary contact lens inserted
to reduce any discomfort. The lens will be removed by
the doctor the following day.
