Tag: Lasik recovery

With up to 95% of patients reporting dry eye symptoms immediately after LASIK, managing post-operative hydration is critical for a smooth recovery. The question is not just how many drops to use, but what *kind*, and whether you can use too many eye drops after LASIK without causing harm. The answer depends entirely on the type of drop you are using.

Over 95% of LASIK patients experience dry eye symptoms immediately following surgery. A successful LASIK recovery relies heavily on using a prescribed regimen of eye drops, which typically includes antibiotics, steroids, and preservative-free artificial tears. These medications are crucial for preventing infection, reducing inflammation, and managing post-operative dryness to ensure optimal healing and vision correction.
