I work 8-10 hours a day in front of a computer screen. Is there a risk of a refractive error reappearing a few years after a laser vision correction surgery as a consequence of long-term computer screen exposure?

Laser vision correction corrects your vision as well as the best glasses. Everything depends on the severity of the refractive error that has been corrected and the lifestyle that you lead. It is essential to remember about proper eye hygiene while using a computer — you should take regular 5 or 10-minute breaks every hour to look into the distance. Vision improvement after laser vision correction is gradual, with a stable result usually obtained in approximately six months after the surgery. After the procedure every patient receives information and recommendations which they should strictly follow. They are also provided with special eye drops, which should be applied for the first month after the procedure to boost the healing process, prevent complications and maintain appropriate eye lubrication during the convalescence period as well as optimal vision acuity after the laser vision correction surgery.
