Step Three: Your Post-Operative Care
- Please wear the clear shields or goggles for 4 nights while sleeping.
- Keep artificial tears in the refrigerator
the first day and use drops every hour while awake.
The next day, you will return for a one-day post-operative check. Your "new eyes" are tested to see how much your vision has improved.

Tears

This drop will help lubricate the
eye(s) and can be used to reduce the burning or foreign body
sensation. You may use this drop as often as you wish, but wait a
few minutes if you have just used the medicated drops.
