What happens after the operation?
You are required to come in to the Wellington Eye Clinic the next morning to ensure that everything looks good. Your vision will still be blurry but this improves every day. The eye will also be red possibly and this clears over a few weeks. There is a gritty sensation that also improves on a daily basis.
You will have a very detailed sheet with explicit instructions of exactly how to use your eyedrops over the recovery period. Some of the drops are used for 1 month following the surgery.
You are seen again 5 to7 days later at the clinic to ensure that the healing is going according to plan.
At the 1 month visit after the surgery, the vision is tested for spectacles. Depending on what you selected initially in terms of targets, you may require glasses for reading or for distance or for both. You will be sent back to your optician in order to get the glasses made up.
