Does LASIK hurt? Is LASIK painful?
IN THIS VIDEO, DR. BENNETT CHOTINER EXPLAINS THE PAIN-FREE PROCEDURE OF LASIK
Does laser eye surgery hurt? No, LASIK eye surgery will not cause pain or discomfort. The surgical procedure incorporates the usage of numbing anesthetic eye drops and mild oral sedatives to minimize any discomfort.
Your LASIK surgeon will use the corneal flap technique to reshape the cornea with a laser. This lasts no longer than 30 minutes, with the laser used for a couple of minutes per eye.
It is a relatively pleasant and pain-free experience, with swift healing post-surgery. Patients may experience mild side effects, but they are generally minimal for most people.
Most people, after completing the LASIK procedure say they can’t believe how easy the process is, and how comfortable they felt during the procedure.

Laser eye surgery hurt or pain, corneal flap, and post-surgery are common aspects of the LASIK process. However, patients typically only feel a sensation of pressure during the procedure, which is alleviated by the use of local anesthetic and anesthetic eye drops.
