LASIK surgery is virtually painless thanks to numbing eye drops used during the procedure. You might experience mild discomfort or a feeling of pressure during the brief 15-20 minute treatment, but many patients from Archer Heights and beyond report that the journey downtown was more uncomfortable than the actual procedure. After surgery, any mild irritation typically subsides within a few hours as you rest at home or your downtown accommodation.
Many patients achieve significantly improved vision within 24 hours after LASIK surgery. You might even be able to clearly see Chicago's magnificent skyline on your ride home to Archer Heights the next day. However, your vision will continue to stabilize over the next few weeks, with optimal results typically achieved within three months.
LASIK provides permanent vision correction for the corneal issues treated during the procedure. Most patients enjoy their improved vision for many years to come, able to clearly see everything from their daily commute to Chicago's finest architectural details. (1) While natural aging may affect your vision over time, the fundamental corrections made by LASIK remain permanent.
