Does lasik eye surgery hurt?
Q. I was watching a video on lasik eye surgery and it looks SO painful. The eye was bleeding a bit and the patient is awake the entire time. Has anyone here got this surgery done before? And is it painful to keep to keep your eyes open and for things to be pressing against and touching your eyes?
I'm planning to get this done in the future because the vision in my left eye isn't that wel.

I had lasik last summer and an enhancement to my right eye in December. Neither one of the surgeries hurt. All that happen to me was I had a lot of bruising on my actually eye balls and I slept the whole day after the surgery. Besides that there was virtually no pain and I like the results. The only complaint I have with the eye surgery is that now my eyes are really dry. They are so dry that my eye doctor had to put plugs in the tear duct and recommend I put eye drops four times a day but he prefers that I put them on every hour.

Does it hurt?
Answer
I guess not, because as far as I know, laser eye surgery procedure is painless. Your eyes are numbed with anesthetic eye drops prior to the surgery and no general anesthetic is necessary. Some patients may feel a little pressure on the eye during the LASIK surgery when the corneal flap is being created but this is only mild. After PRK surgery, some patients may experience a âsandyâ feeling in their eyes for a few days. Some patients may also experience sensitivity to light and their eyes may water for a day or two after laser eye surgery. However, on the whole, in terms of pain, laser eye surgery is a mild procedure and one from which patients recover quickly.
