As a plastic surgeon, I can provide some information about the expected results of LASEK (Laser-Assisted Subepithelial Keratectomy) in Canberra. LASEK is a refractive surgery procedure that is used to correct vision problems such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism. The time it takes to see the results of LASEK can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's healing process, the severity of the vision problem, and the surgeon's technique. In general, most patients will start to notice an improvement in their vision within a few days to a week after the procedure. However, it may take several weeks or even months for the vision to stabilize and reach its final level. During the healing process, it is important to follow the surgeon's instructions carefully. This may include wearing protective eyewear, avoiding certain activities, and using prescribed eye drops. The surgeon will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the healing progress and make any necessary adjustments. It is important to note that the results of LASEK may not be immediate or perfect for everyone. Some patients may experience side effects such as dry eyes, glare, or halos, which may persist for a period of time. In rare cases, complications such as infection or corneal haze may occur. However, these complications are typically manageable with proper treatment. Overall, the results of LASEK can be very satisfactory, providing patients with improved vision and a reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, it is important to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if LASEK is the right option for you and to discuss the potential risks and benefits.
