Now, here we would like to go into some detail about how to prepare your self to your lasik surgery and the little things that you should do before your procedure according to our experience of witnessing thousands of surgery process.
- Have a strong bath (on the day of surgery/ the day before surgery)
After your lasik procedure you can not have shower, bath or even wash your face for a day. However, there is always a possibility of doctor increasing this into 2 days.
In lasek surgery, which quite similar to lasik but different in procedure, you can not have shower, bath or wash your face for 3 days. - Dye your eyelashes in to a dark color (5 days before surgery)
This is for blond patients using mascara to darken their eyelashes. Since you can not have make up for several weeks after the surgery, having a permanent color change will feel better. - Buy a good / dark sunglasses with UV protection.
Dr.Nusret BAS advices all of his patients to use qualified sunglasses with UV protection. Cheap glasses that you buy from streets or the ones that you can use as accessory do not count of course.
There are sunglasses with high UV protection and a very light color. Those are OK too however, since you will (may) be light sensitive after the surgery, it is always better to pick dark colored glasses. - Make you own drop kit: Get a small bag for drops like a small purse for coins
You will be in using 2 drops for a week after the surgery and 1 another drop for 1-3 months of time. It will be always good to have a small drop bag that you can put them in. This will help you to not to loose your drops, keeps you organized and makes it easy to carry.
Don't forget to put a pack of tissue and light painkillers to your drop kit! - Get a hand sanitizer
This will help you when you need to drop. - Have your last sauna, hamam. Swim in the pool or sea.
You can not swim, have sauna or hamam for couple of weeks.
