After you undergo LASIK surgery to correct your eyesight, what kind of a recovery can you expect? It’s important to know how long it will be before you can see and feel good again, before you commit to having eye surgery.

You will be happy to know that the recovery time for LASIK is extremely short. Immediately after the surgery, you will probably find that your eyes are irritated, and your vision may still be blurry. Most people, however, find that they can see significantly better by the next day. Most patients also find that any eye irritation is gone by the next day as well.

LASIK surgery doesn’t require any stitches, even though a flap is cut in your cornea. The flap will seal itself down on its own and heal without any outside help. Most patients are ready to go back to work after LASIK within two days of their procedure.

You can review your concerns about your recovery, as well as any other questions you have, at your free consultation with Dr. Boothe. He has been performing LASIK at Boothe Laser Center since the 1990s. Dr. Boothe has performed over 121,000 LASIK procedures to date and will take good care of your eyes.

After having LASIK surgery, will you ever need to have it again?

This is something that many people ask about before they undergo LASIK for permanent vision correction, and is a good question to bring up with your surgeon.

Most people will not need to undergo LASIK a second time. That’s because doctors are careful to screen out patients whose eyes are still changing. That’s one of the reasons why you can’t have LASIK until you are at least 18 years old, and also why you should wait until your prescription has been stable for at least one year.

But if you do have to undergo LASIK again, it’s called an enhancement. One of the most common enhancements that people undergo after they’ve had LASIK is to correct their vision for presbyopia. Presbyopia is when your eyes can’t focus up close and you need reading glasses. Most people develop presbyopia naturally some time in their 40s. This can be corrected by enhancing one eye to be able to see up close, while leaving your other eye to see at a distance.

Another reason for enhancements is if the original procedure did not go as planned. Though it’s unusual, sometimes during LASIK your vision is corrected too much, or not enough. This is easily fixed with an enhancement in a few months after your eye has healed from the original procedure.

When you have your free consultation at Boothe Laser Center, Dr. William Boothe will discuss these possible situations with you, as well as review any questions that you may have about the procedure. Make your appointment today, so that you can begin seeing clearly soon.

All surgical procedures take some time to heal, after they are done. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to heal, depending on the procedure. Fortunately, when you undergo LASIK eye surgery at Boothe Laser Center to permanently correct your eyesight, you will not require much healing time.

The LASIK procedure involves cutting a flap in your cornea, so that your surgeon, Dr. William Boothe, can reshape the tissue underneath and allow you to see. When the flap is put back into place, it re-adheres on its own, without requiring any stitches. Because of this, you will feel very little discomfort as your eyes heal.

Though it can take up to a few months for your eyes to fully heal, most people experience greatly improved vision within a day of their LASIK procedure, and very little discomfort. This means that you will be able to go back to work soon. It’s recommended that you wait at least two days after your procedure to go back to work, though some people go back the next day.

When you consider that there is such a short healing time with LASIK, it makes sense to have the procedure and have permanently clear vision. With just a few minutes to perform LASIK and only a day or two of downtime, you can be rid of your glasses and contacts, forever.

About three years ago I got into an accident with my car. Some crazy driver hit me from the left side, he did not stop in red light! After this event I had suffered from trauma to the crystalline lens in my right eye. I could only see vague image of people and things around me. I visited a few ophthalmology centers. Different surgeons told me that I am a not good candidate for surgery and suggested I wait for the situation to stabilize. Sometime later I got used to having a bad eyesight.

I work with a lot of documents at my job. Since there was a heavy load on the left eye, my eyesight in that eye began to weaken. In the summer of 2010 I felt acute pain in the left eye. My friend recommended me to phone Boothe Eye Care and make an appointment. I immediately called and when I met with Dr. William Boothe he was the first surgeon who said that my of both eyes can be operated. I was so glad! His assistant attentively examed both of my eyes and then the doctor diagnosed a secondary glaucoma in the left eye. I wanted to save my left eye and I needed to do a special antiglaucomatous operation.

I was amazed by Dr. Boothe – how he could he remain calm after very hard surgery on my eye. After surgery my intraocular pressure was improved. He restored my vision and now I have an overall 50 % vision, up from about 10% before surgery.
I can differentiate items and see their colors more vividly.

Many thanks to Dr. Boothe and his staff. I need to do another surgery in the future on my right eye and plan to return to this center for a second procedure.

I can not thank Dr. Boothe and his wonderful staff enough. For the first time in my life I can see bright and vivid colors without glasses. A few years ago I could only dream about perfect vision but now it is a reality. Thanks to Dr. Boothe, in spite of my strong astigmatism, I achieved 20/20 vision after my laser eye surgery.

At my first consultation Dr. Boothe listened to me for a long time and reviewed my exam results thoroughly to see if I will be a candidate for Intralasik. I was happy to see his level of professionalism and it help me to make up my mind and schedule a date to do a laser surgery at Dr. Boothe Center. The whole surgery from start to finish was very quick and I did not feel pain.

The results of this surgery changed my life. I now feel confident to go hiking and play soccer with my friends, not worrying whether something will accidentally hit my eyeglasses and break them.

The first thing I would recommend to people looking to do a Lasik surgery is to try to find the best surgeon in the USA for their condition. My experience is that Dr. William Boothe is indeed an excellent surgeon and all people who surround him are highly qualified. Dr. Boothe is in my opinion a master of improving vision in different levels of complexity. He has performed a billion laser eye surgeries and gained great skills. He knows the best eye treatment methods and has helped me to recover from surgery and get my new my vision quicker that I thought.

The second point consists of my full confidence in Dr. Boothe. Why? Because Dr. Boothe thoroughly examined my eyes. His assistant took me from one exam room to the other and together we created a complete “picture” of my eye conditions. After these exams, when I came to meet Dr. William Boothe, he looked at my eyes himself and went over my tests. My poor vision was due to my strong astigmatism and due to the long time I used contact lens, my retina became very thin. Dr. Boothe prescribed me a combined treatment in order to prepare my eyes for laser surgery. I could really trust Dr. Boothe. I never saw such a level of professional work, combined with personal attitude and kindness. If you want to have the best treatment and feel good when you come to that center, I advise you to visit Boothe Eye Laser Center.

The third aspect is to fulfill all of Dr. Boothe instructions. After surgery I had strong tingling feeling in my eyes. The nurses used soothing drops and a couple of hours later I felt better. The next few days my vision was blurry at times. Dr. Boothe give me pills and eye drops and his assistant not only explained in detail how to used these medicines but wrote it all so that I do not forget. At home I precisely followed his instructions and my complications have passed very quickly. I had a follow-up consult with Dr. William Boothe and he said that my vision is 100% in both eyes. What a joy!

In conclusion, I want to thank Dr. William Boothe for his ability to give people happiness & see the world by their own eyes. All patients who came with me to Dr. Boothe for a follow-up appointment were excited with their new vision. I calculated and saw the it is better to improve your vision by laser eye surgery than keep buying new glasses, prescription sunglasses, and contact lenses. I wish to Dr. William Boothe to continue his successful career and reach new achievements.

I am free from various inconveniences.

Last year a surgery was performed by Dr.William Boothe on both of my eyes, which had about -6 myopia. After the IntraLastik procedure I have vision which is much better than when I wore glasses and contact lenses. It is terrific! I am free from the various inconveniences I used to get mad about. For example, I allow myself to fall asleep when I watch TV. Before I feared to go to asleep without taking out my contact lenses.

I was a quite worried at my first consultation with Dr. William Boothe. During the consultation my anxiety went away and I received detailed answers to my questions. The center service and professional work by Dr. Boothe inspires trust and confidence in getting an outstanding result.

During the laser eye surgery Dr. William Boothe and his assistant were very careful. I felt discomfort but it was painless. After the surgery my eyes were a little watery, I could not look at the light. I wanted to sleep. The next day my vision was fine! I can see for near, intermediate and far distances. I want to notice that the first time that I wanted to see something nearly I felt a little discomfort because my eyesight focused only after a few seconds. A few weeks later I’m fully recovered and my vision is perfect.

I work at a lawyer’s office. Most of the time I communicate with people and I always have to look good. I have had a very short sighted prescription (-8.5 and -7.0) and astigmatism. The glasses had very thick lenses and did not look good. Then I began to use contact lenses. It was much more comfortable than lenses but can never replace natural vision.

I have chosen Boothe Eye Care & Laser Center due to its superior reputation. I read reviews of Dr. Boothe and used his website and other online resources to ensure I’m choosing well. I was amazed by a great number of surgeries his high level of experience with Intralasik, which is the procedure I wanted to have.

During my first private consultation with Dr. Boothe I asked him a lot of questions. Dr. Boothe gave me full answers. I felt reassured and my worries pretty much disappeared. At the end of the consultation I was sure that I want to have a laser eye surgery.

I am fully content with the result. My eyes have a 20/20 vision. I was able to quickly resume my work. I am very happy that I can see with my own eyes now.

I found an ophthalmology center with a real professional surgeon.

My vision was not so great and bothered me more and more. I seriously started to think about laser eye surgery. I wanted to improve my vision because I was almost blind without glasses and contact lenses. My glasses were always misty in the winter while I was driving. Despite the fact that my contact lenses were of very high quality and quite flexible, I felt uncomfortable with them.

My friends told me about a special surgery for vision correction. Some told about the advantages of doing Lasik, others mentioned the disadvantages. For a full year I could not decide whether I should do laser surgery or not. I found it hard to believe to stories about surgeries which were painless, quick and with immediate, perfect results. I used the internet to study the newest technologies and most modern equipments. I looked for a laser center where the most professional surgeons work.

After a long search, I went to a few consultation, including with Dr. Boothe. At the consultation he said that I have 10% vision but after the laser eye surgery I’ll see up to 10 times better. Dr. Boothe was patient and allowed me to ask about everything. For example: “ would I feel pain after the analgesic wears off? Can I be blinded by this surgery? How long is the recovery period after surgery?” I guess that Dr. Boothe gave responses to the same questions to many patients each day. He did not mind answering them lengthily and it convinced me to choose to do the surgery with him.

Before my laser eye surgery I had doubts. I thought that it sounds painful: someone will touch your eyes with a laser, even that part takes 1-2 minutes. I was afraid that after the surgery I will have some complications. But my desire to get rid of the glasses was stronger!

At the early hours of the morning, I arrived at Boothe’s Center for the surgery. The assistant took me to the room. It was very cozy, quiet and calming. I remember that the air in that room was cool, super fresh and clean. I wore a special dresses and the assistant took me to the “heart” of the center – the operating room. I lay down and the nurse dripped anesthetic into my eyes. I lay there in silence and expected that there will be pain. Dr. Boothe smiled to me and I started using the laser. I felt some pressure inside the eye but it was not painful in any way. After a couple of minutes Dr. Boothe said that I can go to rest in the post-operative room. I thought to myself: how can I get up and walk now? But I easily got up and one nurse took my arm and helped me to get there. For a while, after the surgery, I was afraid to open my eyes. I even fell asleep. After a couple of hours I woke up and the first thing I did was go closer to the window. I was shocked!

I was on the first floor and I could see the people walking on the street on the other sidewalk, their clothes and faces, store signs, tree branches. Before my surgery things that surround me were large and blurry. I now see better than when I wore glasses and contact lenses. I found out by my own experience that laser eye surgery is really not painful, it is rapid, accurate and achieves what the doctor promised. The next morning I began to see even better. I went to Dr. Boothe for postoperative tests on my eyes. My vision is almost perfect. I could see all letters & numbers on the board.

I got used to my new vision so quickly that I forget my previous, poor vision. I’d just like to get on with my normal life!
