Will I look different? Will my eye have a scar after the procedure? |
There are no visible effects of laser surgery to the eye, face or eyelids. Some patients develop very mild swelling of the eyelids after surgery, but this is temporary and will subside in a week.
In well-performed LASIK procedures, there is usually no scar; at most a faint C-shaped line will show at the edge of the flap. Usually the edge of the cut will disappear the day after surgery and the cornea will look normal, as if no surgery had been done. It may reappear 6 weeks after surgery and will disappear again after about one year.
