Can I wear contact lenses after surgery if I want to?

It is very uncommon that someone would want or need to wear contacts after surgery. Most patients do not need any correction, and those who do usually just need part-time correction for things like night driving. Rarely will someone want to wear contacts versus glasses for activities like this. If full-time glasses or contacts is needed after surgery, usually a retreatment can be done to improve the vision and reduce the need for use of glasses. In the rare case that someone wants to wear contacts after surgery, usually they can without any trouble (assuring they could wear contacts prior to surgery). There is always the outside possibility that a contact would not fit well, but this is rare.

Who can benefit from vision correction surgery?

People with most common vision disorders can be treated effectively by laser eye surgical procedures. Common disorders include myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), presbyopia (age-related trouble focusing) and astigmatism.

Am I a candidate for vision correction surgery?

Possibly. Most people who wear corrective glasses or contact lenses may be suitable candidates. A thorough evaluation by a vision care expert is necessary to determine your suitability. Careful assessment of your overall eye health must be performed before any decision can be made regarding your treatment.
