How Long Does LASIK Recovery Take?

One of the most common questions we hear at Lasik Center Medical Group is: “How long does LASIK recovery take?”
The answer may surprise you — for most patients, vision begins to clear within 24 hours, and many return to work the very next day!

👁️ What to Expect After LASIK

Immediately after your procedure, you may experience mild dryness, light sensitivity, or watery eyes — all normal signs of healing. Most patients notice dramatic improvement in vision within the first day, with continued fine-tuning over the next few weeks.

🌤️ Recovery Timeline

• First 24 Hours: Rest your eyes; expect improved clarity by morning.

• 1–3 Days: Light sensitivity fades; most resume normal routines.

• 1 Week: Vision stabilizes; results continue to sharpen.

• 1 Month: Most patients reach full clarity and comfort.
