Follow-Up

The Importance of Follow-Up
Follow-up care and eye medications are just as important to your results as your actual procedure. Ideally, your own eye doctor provides this care, but it may also be performed at TLC Laser Eye Centers. Periodic examinations are required to ensure that your eye is healing as expected, to verify that there is no evidence of infection, and to measure your visual progress. Each appointment takes between 5 to 15 minutes.

Patients must also use prescribed antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops during recovery. LASIK patients use eye drops for four to seven days.

Annual eye exams are important, we strongly recommend that everyone, not only laser vision correction patients, have a dilated eye exam performed by their eye doctor every year. This is a proactive way to ensure that your eye is healthy and functioning properly.
