Can both eyes be treated on the same day?

Yes, both eyes can be treated on the same day during LASIK eye surgery. In fact, it is the most common approach. Treating both eyes concurrently offers several benefits. It saves time and requires only one recovery period, allowing patients to resume their normal activities sooner. It also ensures symmetry in visual outcomes and reduces the overall cost. That being said, the decision ultimately depends on the individual's eye health, age, and the surgeon's evaluation. Some patients with specific conditions or preferences may opt for a staged procedure, treating one eye at a time. Your eye doctor will assess your suitability for simultaneous treatment during a comprehensive pre-operative examination.
