Stinging often persists for a few days after lasik but this varies.
You may experience some irritation during the first four hours after LASIK. We recommend patients keep their eyes closed during that time. Discomfort improves and typically goes away after the first 4 hours. Here is the link to our website with more information on healing: https://www.pacificvision.org/
