    Can I wear contact lenses after laser vision correction surgery?

    Can I wear contact lenses after laser vision correction surgery?

    Właściwie głównym celem wykonywania zabiegu laserowej korekcji wzroku jest pełna korekcja wady i wyeliminowanie potrzeby noszenia okularów korekcyjnych oraz soczewek kontaktowych. Zdarzają się jednak przypadki, kiedy z powodu na przykład zbyt dużej wady, po zabiegu może pozostać wada resztkowa, o czym został(a)byś poinformowana/y przed podjęciem decyzji o przystąpieniu do laserowej korekcji wzroku.

    In this case, it may be necessary to continue wearing glasses or correcting with contact lenses, of course of a much lower power.

    Możliwe także, że po zabiegu, ze stuprocentowo skorygowanym widzeniem, chciał(a)byś założyć kolorowe soczewki kontaktowe dla zmiany koloru swoich oczu.

    Whatever the reason for this decision, in most cases it is safe to wear contact lenses after surgery. Many patients also feel significantly more comfortable in gas permeable or hybrid stable lenses than in soft lenses.
    Fitting contact lenses after undergoing laser correction can sometimes be more time-consuming due to the shape of the cornea after the procedure, so it is advisable to go to a good specialist who has more experience in this area.
    A recovery period for the eyes, averaging two to three months, is recommended before deciding to use lenses after surgery.
