Eye Makeup After LASIK
Introduction
LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) is the most popular refractive surgery that reshapes the cornea to improve vision, often reducing the need for glasses or contact lenses.
Understanding Visual Aberrations
Higher-order aberrations are subtle visual issues not typically detected in a standard eye exam. While these aberrations are generally low in healthy eyes, there have been concerns about refractive surgeries like LASIK potentially increasing them. Fortunately, advancements in LASIK technology have minimized the risk of significant visual impairments post-surgery.
Possible LASIK Complications
Some common complications associated with LASIK include:
1. Dry eyes
2. Overcorrection or undercorrection
3. Fluctuations in visual acuity
4. Halos or starbursts around lights at night
5. Light sensitivity
6. Double vision or "ghosts"
7. Flap wrinkles (striae)
8. Decentered ablation
When Can You Wear Eye Makeup Again?
You can generally resume wearing eye makeup 1-2 weeks after LASIK. To prevent infections, it's advisable to purchase new makeup products, such as mascara, following the procedure.
Choosing the Right Surgeon
The most crucial step for anyone considering LASIK is to ensure they're a suitable candidate. It's vital to consult with a surgeon who will thoroughly evaluate your compatibility with the procedure to minimize potential side effects.
Procedure Details
LASIK is an outpatient procedure lasting about 10 to 15 minutes per eye. Only numbing eye drops are used as anesthesia, and the surgery is performed while the patient is awake. A microkeratome creates a hinged flap in the cornea, which is lifted to allow a laser to reshape the underlying tissue.
By understanding these factors, you can better prepare for LASIK and ensure a smooth recovery, including safely resuming activities like wearing eye makeup.
