When This Happens After Surgery?
I can’t focus when I try to read or see things up close!
You may temporarily experience discomfort when doing close-up tasks after surgery. This is because your eyes now require more natural focusing effort than when you wore glasses before. This kind of discomfort usually improves within a month.
My eyes feel dazzled, and I see halos or glare!
Lights may look blurry or like there’s a haze around them, but this usually improves over time. It’s a natural process, so there’s no need to worry. (Nighttime glare or halos typically get better within 1-3 months, but depending on the individual, it may take 6-12 months to fully adjust.)
Can I read or use a computer from today?
Reading or watching TV is okay from today, but it may worsen dryness.
When using a computer, take a 10-minute break for every 50 minutes of use, and use artificial tears about once an hour. When looking at a monitor, blink intentionally to help spread your tear film evenly across your eyes. Avoid excessive reading, smartphone use, and TV watching during the first few days after surgery.
Do I have to wear sunglasses?
With SMILE or LASIK surgery, you don’t need to worry about corneal haze caused by UV rays like with PRK, so wearing sunglasses is not absolutely necessary.
My eyes feel stinging or uncomfortable when I use eye drops or artificial tears!
You may temporarily feel discomfort due to dryness or sensitivity in the eye area. Most cases improve with rest and the use of artificial tears. If the eye surface is dry and unprotected, external irritation may cause temporary microscopic damage to the cornea, resulting in stinging or discomfort.
