Does LASIK Cause Dry Eye?

Dry Eye Syndrome (Keratoconjunctivitis sicca) affects many people whether they have had LASIK or not. Dry eyes are the result of either insufficient or poor quality tear film production. The human body produces tears to not only keep the eye moist and comfortable, but tear film delivers nutrients to the eye and provides clearer vision as well.

During your LASIK procedure, whether there the surgeon creates a corneal flap or you have a surface treatment such as PRK, the nerve endings that transmit messages alerting your brain to send more tears to your eyes are disrupted and will take some time to heal. Since your nerve endings are not able to relay this need, you must take over the responsibility temporarily and manually lubricate your eyes. This is the reason that you are put on a regime of artificial tears.

Although many factors can contribute to dry eye, there are a number of remedies to help alleviate the discomfort associated with the dryness. The normal progression would be for your eye doctor to start with over-the-counter artificial tear drops that range in thickness, depending on a patient's needs or he/she may suggest nutritional supplements, then move to the possibility of punctal plugs then to a prescription drop such as RESTASIS®.

Don't let the fear of dry eyes prevent you from being glasses or contact lens-free!! Bladefree LASIK is clinically proven to help reduce many of the dry eye issues resulting from LASIK procedures.
Whether you have dry eyes pre or post-operatively, we can help! Ask our doctor what may be best for you!!

Co-Managing After Your Lasik

Co-Management
What is it and Why is it important?

After your LASIK procedure you will want to make sure that your investment in your vision is protected!! You can ensure that your eyes are healing appropriately, that your vision is remaining stable and that any post-operative concerns are addressed by adhering to the suggested follow-up schedule. These appointments can be scheduled either with us, at Clear Advantage in Portsmouth, or with any of our fully qualified co-managing eye doctors.

These appointments are 5-10 minutes long and the typical follow-up schedule would be:
1 Day - at Clear Advantage w/ Dr. Peters
1 Week - either at Clear Advantage or with comanaging doctor
1 Month - at comanaging doctor
3 Month - at comanaging doctor
1 Year - at comanaging doctor

If you have an established relationship with your existing eye doctor, or if you live a distance away from Portsmouth, this is a great opportunity for you! We have a number of optometrists throughout the New England area that are fully qualified to see you after the one day visit and best of all, there is no extra charge to do so!! Perhaps your regular eye doctor is already on our comanagement list !

Don't let travel time for appointments get in the way of improving your vision!!
Contact us today to set up an evaluation!!
