    Pregnancy and laser correction. Do they go hand in hand?

    What do you need to know?

    • Ciąża powoduje zmiany hormonalne, które mogą wpłynąć na wynik i proces gojenia po laserowej korekcji wzroku.
    • Medicines used before and after the procedure, especially sedatives and antibiotics, can be harmful to the baby.
    • Podczas ciąży często występuje zespół suchego oka, utrudniający noszenie soczewek kontaktowych.
    • Laser vision correction surgery is not recommended until several months after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
    • Having up-to-date corrective glasses is important before a planned pregnancy.

    Pregnancy is a unique state for a woman. Therefore, the hormonal changes that occur in the body during and after pregnancy can affect the outcome of laser vision correction surgery and can also affect and significantly delay the healing process of the eyes. Furthermore, certain medications prescribed by the doctor, even those without a prescription, can harm the baby. These are mainly sedatives given before the procedure and possible antibiotics or steroid eye drops after the procedure, if necessary.

    Wiele kobiet podczas ciąży odczuwa syndrom suchego oka, który może spowodować, że nawet noszenie soczewek kontaktowych będzie niekomfortowe, czy wręcz niebezpieczne.

    So if you are planning to get pregnant - it is safe to make sure you have corrective eyewear with the current correct correction of your visual impairment.
    Ze względu na powyższe powody zaleca się kobietom w ciąży, aby odczekały kilka miesięcy nie tylko po ciąży, ale również po późniejszym karmieniu piersią i dopiero wtedy poddały się zabiegowi laser vision correction.
