Should I have both eyes done on the same day?

The laser procedure is usually performed on both eyes (bilaterally), the same day. In the event that this can not be done, one eye will be treated at a time. Bilateral procedures are performed on most people because of less time off of work and you are finished with the procedure during one setting. If a patient's second eye is treated at a separate time than the first eye, one of the following two methods are used to gap the transition period: a) the patient will wear his/her glasses with one lens covered or removed. b) the patient will not wear glasses on the untreated eye and simply use the treated eye. c) Do not wear your contact lens if you are going to have the other eye done. d) The solution that is best for you will be discussed with you by your eye care professional.
