The laser ablation is complete and the flap is being replaced. Once The flap is returned to preoperative position, the surgeon carefully checks and rechecks the flap to be certain it is secure and well-positioned.
Postoperative Management - Dr Boothe
Post-operatively, most patients will be instructed to use antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drop medications for 3 to 7 days. A shield is usually worn over the operated eye while sleeping for the first few days or week following surgery. The patient is also typically instructed to avoid rubbing the eye for the first few weeks following surgery.
Post-operative visits are typically minimal, but vary widely from one surgeon to another. Most patients will only require one to three post-operative evaluations, which take place in the first six months following surgery. Patients who are over-corrected, or under-corrected, may require an "enhancement," utilizing a procedure similar to the initial LASIK. Depending on the chosen time frame for an enhancement (when necessary), the surgeon may elect to lift the original flap or create a new flap with the microkeratome.
