At WLEI, we specialize in refractive surgery such as LASIK, PRK and ICL which correct common vision problems such as nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. In addition to these procedures, we also provide cataract removal surgery using advanced technology such as femtosecond laser cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation (ICL).

Most people experience an improvement in vision within 24 hours after their procedure while some can see results within a few hours. Overall recovery time will depend on the individual's condition but typically takes between 7 days to 4 weeks to completely heal.

Generally speaking, discomfort during the procedure tends to be minimal since anesthetic drops are placed on the eyes before starting any treatment. Afterward some mild discomfort in the form of itching or burning may occur which usually subsides within the first day or so.

Following LASIK surgery one should avoid rubbing or pressing on their eyes even if they feel irritation or itching around them. Additionally refrain from swimming, hot tubs/ Jacuzzis and participating in vigorous activities like contact sports until instructed otherwise by your doctor.
