With LASIK, we suggest you have someone drive you on the day of surgery and to your first post-operative visit, since your vision will be slightly hazy following surgery. After a good night’s rest, the majority of our patients feel their vision is clear enough to drive and may do so once "cleared" by Dr. Snyder. Most patients return to work with confidence in one or two days.

With LASEK, if surgery is performed in only one eye, and the other has a contact lens in place, a patient can return to work within a day or two. If both eyes are done, then the vision may not be adequate for four or five days. Generally, if surgery is done on Thursday, our patients are functioning quite well at work Monday or Tuesday.
