Follow-up check
The recovery of the eyes will last several days. Irritations and pain are possible during that time. However these can be effectively well treated by a therapeutic contact lens and appropriate medicine. Additionally the healing process is supported by the application of eye drops.
Until the final check 3 months after surgery, we recommend periodically follow-up checks.
