What to Expect in the First Days After Surgery

Stinging, Burning, and Tearing in the Eyes
One of the most common complaints after laser eye surgery is a sensation of stinging and burning in the eyes. Patients may feel as if a foreign object has entered the eye. Op. Dr. Diclehan emphasizes that this discomfort decreases within a few days.

Extreme Sensitivity to Light
Some patients may find it difficult to look at bright lights immediately after surgery. Wearing sunglasses helps make this period more comfortable. Op. Dr. Diclehan recommends protecting the eyes from bright light during the first weeks.

Why Does Visual Clarity Fluctuate?

Temporary Causes of Blurriness
After surgery, vision clarity may fluctuate. During the healing of the cornea, focusing may not yet stabilize. Op. Dr. Diclehan states that this period is temporary and that vision will stabilize within a few weeks.

Difficulties with Night Vision
Some patients may experience light scattering, halos, or glare from headlights while driving at night. This is particularly common after LASIK. Op. Dr. Diclehan minimizes these symptoms through personalized laser techniques.

How to Manage Dry Eye Complaints

Disruption of Tear Balance After Surgery
Because the nerves in the cornea are affected, tear production may decrease. This can lead to dryness, stinging, and redness. Op. Dr. Diclehan always emphasizes the importance of using artificial tear drops regularly.

Precautions in Daily Life
Avoiding digital screens, not staying in air-conditioned environments for long periods, and drinking enough water reduce dryness. Op. Dr. Diclehan provides his patients with detailed lifestyle recommendations on this matter.

Unexpected Complaints Less Known Conditions

Sensitivity on the Corneal Surface
Although rare, some patients may experience temporary sensitivity on the corneal surface, which can be uncomfortable. Op. Dr. Diclehan detects such conditions early during regular check-ups and provides appropriate solutions.

Minor Deviations in Visual Quality
In some cases, complete correction of the prescription may not be achieved, or small residual refractive errors may remain. A second laser procedure may be required in such cases. Op. Dr. Diclehan informs patients beforehand to establish realistic expectations.

Ways to Reduce Postoperative Complaints

The Role of Regular Checkups
Regular examinations are essential to detect complaints early. Op. Dr. Diclehan always calls his patients for scheduled follow-up visits.

Importance of Hygiene and Care
Avoiding rubbing the eyes, using sterile drops, and maintaining proper eye hygiene help reduce complaints.

Psychological Comfort
When symptoms occur, patients should not panic. Op. Dr. Diclehan maintains continuous communication with his patients during the postoperative period to enhance their sense of security.

Personalized Treatment Plans
