Does LASIK Hurt?

Does LASIK Hurt?
You will be awake and alert during the LASIK procedure, but you should feel little to no pain during or after the surgery. Your doctor uses numbing drops before the surgery starts. When the laser begins reshaping your cornea, you won’t feel it at all. After surgery, your eyes may feel a little gritty or uncomfortable. But if you follow your doctor’s directions carefully, you’ll heal quickly with no long-lasting pain problems.
Will I Feel Any Pain During LASIK?
When your surgery starts, your surgeon will use eye drops with local anesthetic in them to numb the eye (or eyes) that will be surgically altered. You may feel some mild discomfort after this is done, but you should not feel any pain.
You might smell burning tissues or see dimming lights while your eyes are reshaped, but the numbing drops will keep you from feeling pain or discomfort.
Immediately after surgery, you may feel like something is deep inside your eye, and you might feel like that tissue pushes deeper into your eye while you blink.
Your doctor might suggest a mild pain reliever to help with discomfort after surgery. Eye drops could also help you feel more comfortable.
