Will I have pain after the treatment?

That depends a bit on the treatment method you have chosen and your own pain experience. People who have had IntraLASIK treatment have a burning sensation for only 4 to 6 hours. After a ReLEx® SMILE treatment, most patients experience hardly any discomfort.

TransPRK does cause considerable irritation. This can last up to 3 days after the treatment. You can expect burning, tears, swollen eyelids. This feeling disappears with TransPRK after 2 to 3 days. The top layer (the epithelium) is then healed again.
