Laser Eye Surgery - How long do you have to stop wearing contacts before a consultation?ontact lenses?

I have hard contact lenses which I wear everyday, and have been doing so for the last 5/6 years, and I am considering gettting laser eye surgery. I know I would have to stop wearing my contacts for a few weeks before even going for a consultation but I can’t remember the exact time can anyone tell me how many weeks it is?

Also is it possible to wear soft contact lenses for a certain amount of weeks and then my glasses and then get the consultation done?

I had Laser eye surgery done after wearing glasses for 16 years. It has been perfect for me. I have had no changes. Of course, as I age, I expect changes. I also co-manage refractive surgery and have seen hundreds of successful patients. It doesn’t hurt, generally. There is a bit of pressure, but no real pain if you have Laser eye surgery. The PRK version (where no flap is cut) is a little more uncomfortable for the first few days following the procedure. I’ve seen several people who said they were in some pain, but healed just fine. I used to wear both glasses and contact lenses. I had Laser eye surgery done and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I can see clearly, no squinting, no driving with glasses anymore. I can read road signs, see the individual leaves in the trees (they’re not just a blurry mess anymore). It’s also nice to be able to see what time it is when I wake up. The procedure is painless (although a bit uncomfortable) but takes less than 15 minutes. Highly recommended.

1 month if you are wearing hard contact lens. Alternatively you can wear soft contact lens for 3 weeks then off for 1 week.


I had Lasik surgery 5 years ago and I felt it was life changing. I have worn glasses since I was a child. The surgery gave me freedom: I can see so much better, no having to remove my glasses to read, and see better at night.
The best part was the price. I went to Costa Rica. If you need surgery and want to pay less go to http://www.healthcostarica.com top surgeon and best prices.
