Knowing what to expect after Lasik laser vision correction plays an important role in making the decision on whether or not to have the surgery performed. For many, the after care may seem daunting enough to keep them from going through the surgery. Understanding what it really involves can help address some fears that may be associated with the Lasik procedure.

In the last decade there have been advancements in the medical field of vision corrective surgery, also known as LASIK laser eye surgery. Upon discovery of refractive errors within the cornea these can be corrected with the use of lasers in LASIK surgery.The laser is used for reshaping & changing the focus of the cornea, this makes lasik surgery a relatively simple 2 step procedure:

LASIK has become the procedure of choice for most patients because they recover quickly and have fewer side effects and complications than with other methods of vision correction. In fact, most LASIK patients notice a significant improvement in their vision soon after surgery. LASIK removes tissue within the cornea to treat low to high levels of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Many types of refractive errors are correctable by Lasik. The end result of the Lasik procedure can be influenced by varying degrees of severity. There are still benefits of having surgery for those with very bad eyes, but they still may need glasses.

Adding topical cyclosporine A to the standard postoperative treatment regimen may help speed visual recovery and improve final vision in patients undergoing LASIK, according to a retrospective study by California researchers.

“Recent studies have indicated that the status of the ocular surface and tear film before LASIK can impact surgical outcomes in terms of potential complications during and after surgery, refractive outcome, optical quality, patient satisfaction, and the severity and duration of dry eye after LASIK,” the study authors said.

“Topical cyclosporine A 0.05% (Restasis, Allergan) has been shown to increase tear production and improve the quality of naturally produced tears,” they said.

Roxana Ursea, MD, and colleagues investigated visual recovery times in 85 LASIK-treated eyes with no pre-existing dry eye. Specifically, 49 eyes received 0.05% topical cyclosporine A in addition to the standard postoperative drop regimen. These eyes were compared with a control group of 36 eyes that received the standard postop regimen alone.

At 1 week postop, 44.9% of eyes treated with cyclosporine achieved a visual acuity of 20/15 compared with 22.2% of control eyes, according to the study.

In addition, at 1 month follow-up, 75.5% of eyes in the cyclosporine-treated group and 63.9% of control eyes achieved a visual acuity of 20/20 or better. By 3 months, 81.6% of cyclosporine-treated eyes and 69.4% of control eyes achieved 20/20 or better vision.

Cumulatively, 73.5% of eyes treated with cyclosporine achieved 20/20 or better vision compared with 66.7% of eyes in the control group, the authors reported.

“Prospective, controlled clinical studies are required to adequately determine long-term efficacy of cyclosporine in optimizing visual acuity in post-LASIK patients,” the authors said.

The study is published online ahead of print on the Web site for Journal of Refractive Surgery.

Lasik is abbreviation of Laser Assisted in situ Keratomileusis, used to cure problems like astigmatism, hyperopia and myopia and is performed by ophthalmologists and is a type of a retractive laser eye surgery. This lasik laser eye treatment has been extensively used by surgeons as this process makes the patient feel comparatively less pain and is also able to recover much faster than by following the normal procedure of surgery.
