You will need to stop using contact lenses prior to LASIK surgery and all laser vision correction procedures.
FDA studies recommend that you stop wearing soft contact lenses two weeks before surgery. However, in practice, we have found that the amount of time may vary depending on whether the soft lenses were toric [correct astigmatism] or not. During your consultation, we will evaluate your eyes to determine how long is needed for you. The amount of time usually varies from 3 days to 2 weeks.
For hard lenses, the FDA studies recommend that you stay out of hard lenses for four weeks before surgery.
At Clearview Eye & Laser Medical Center, we will make a recommendation for you based upon your testing. We will follow the changes in the shape of the cornea and prescription over time to determine when it is safe for you to proceed with surgery.
