Depending on the eye laser method, mild to no pain occurs during treatment. So you don’t have to be afraid of the procedure. The particularly gentle SMILE\u00ae pro method<\/a>, for example, is virtually painless and has a very short healing process. This procedure is preferred in laser eye surgery for nearsightedness<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of whether eye lasers are caused by farsightedness<\/a> or another defective vision<\/a>, which slight pain can occur with eye lasers<\/a>, we will explain in this article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does laser eye surgery hurt?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most patients report that laser eye treatment hardly hurts or causes pain. During the treatment, you may feel a slight feeling of pressure on the eyes or a feeling as if a foreign object has entered your eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some patients also report mild burning or stinging during treatment. However, this is extremely rare, as the eyes are well numbed with drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before treatment, an anaesthetic is applied to the eyes to relieve possible pain. After treatment, your eyes<\/a> may be irritated for a few hours. Slightly itchy, burning eyes and increased lacrimal fluid are normal and settle after three to four hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In rare cases, some patients may have a stronger pain response to laser eye treatment, such as a complication during treatment or inadequate pain relief. Complications are extremely rare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If pain occurs during the healing process, contact your ophthalmologist in order to be able to react quickly with countermeasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, laser eye treatment is a relatively painless procedure that is performed quickly and allows for a quick recovery. A life without glasses is therefore not associated with pain. You can look forward to a good view the day after the procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
