Behaviour after laser eye surgery: healing, sports and driving<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Successful laser eye treatment does not end with the procedure. The right behaviour supports healing and helps to stabilise the treatment result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first 24 hours – Behaviour after laser eye surgery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Laser eye<\/a> treatment to correct defective vision \u2013 for example with SMILE\u00ae Pro, Femto-LASIK or the PRK and LASEK surface procedures \u2013 does not end with the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctor-medic Liliana and Dr. med. Daniel B\u00e1nyai and her Neue Augen team will accompany you through the healing phase. Mild tears, burning or a foreign body sensation are possible in the first few hours. Use the prescribed eye drops according to the drip schedule and ensure careful hygiene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In PRK or LASEK, a dressing lens protects the cornea; it is usually removed after about five days during the check-up and must not be removed yourself. In the event of severe or increasing complaints, please contact the practice team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Although a laser procedure such as SMILE\u00ae Pro (ReLEx SMILE) often only takes around 10 seconds per eye, the eye is a healing organ afterwards. It is best to treat your eyes to closed eyelids and sleep on the day of treatment. You should completely refrain from watching TV, reading or using smartphones on the day of the operation, as the reduced blinking frequency dries out the eye.”<\/p>\u2013 Dr. med. Daniel B\u00e1nyai<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Healing process and follow-up checks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

How quickly the healing process and the final vision stabilize depends on the chosen procedure and the individual healing time. With precise methods such as SMILE\u00ae Pro or Femto-LASIK, many patients achieve about 80 to 90 percent of their full vision the day after treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PRK and LASEK, on the other hand, require a little more time for the complete regeneration of the uppermost corneal layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the laser centres of B\u00e1nyai Neue Augen in Stuttgart and Karlsruhe, structured follow-up examinations ensure the success of the treatment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
