It is you now about the operation?

Rather, about laser correction. There are a few modern methods: ReLEx SMILE, Femto-LASIK and different types of lens implantation. This is a serious procedure, but they are not similar to the classic operation.

First, they are completely painless. Anesthesia does not need any injections and syringes: you simply buried anesthetic solution into his eyes and you do not feel anything.

Secondly, in the operating room, you spend 20 minutes, much of which is engaged in preparation for the procedure. You will need to just lie quietly and perform some simple instructions. The doctor will fix itself the eyelid, so you do not accidentally blink.

Third, immediately after the procedure you can go home, and the next day to start their business as usual. You do not have to go through a long period of recovery.
