“What's involved in aftercare for refractive eye surgery?”
My husband is due for a refractive eye surgery and I would like to know what post operative care measures to keep in mind for us. Is the surgery painful? What is the typical recovery period?

If you're getting LASIK, there's not much pain. Go home from the procedure and take a nap. When you get up, start using nonpreserved artificial tears. Usually, you take an antibiotic and steroid drop 4 times a day for 1 week.
After care = lots of eye drops. No pain expected. Recovery is different for everyone depending on LASIK vs. PRK.
It depends to the type of surgery, Lasik is not painful. PRK might be painful.
You should make sure to not rub the eye, use sunglasses at outside and see your doctor for the follow up exam and anytime with any blurred vision or pain. Recovery period depends to the procedure few day to a week.

Protect eyes with shields and apply antibiotics as prescribed
