Is the laser vision correction surgery painful? I’m anxious about the procedure itself and I am afraid that something may take me by surprise and I will move during the surgery.

In the course of the laser vision correction procedure painkillers in the form of eye drops are applied into the eyes, which act as a local anaesthetic, hence the surgery is completely painless. During preparation time the nurse will explain the whole procedure to you step by step, from entering the operating room and lying on the operating bed to the actions performed by the doctor. When you are already in the operating room, the same nurse will assist you during the surgery. At the right moment you will be informed about the next steps of the procedure by the medical team. The most important thing is to follow the instructions of the personnel and remain calm throughout the procedure. The whole bilateral surgery lasts approximately 15-20 minutes.
