Dry eyes one a common problem after laser vision correction.
At Muscat Eye Laser Center we know how uncomfortable they can be and how they can affect the quality of your life. That’s why we recommend you have LASIK plugs fitted as part of your after care.
This unique device is inserted into the tear duct and promotes natural lubrication to your eyes. The LASIK plugs gradually dissolves over a period of 3-months providing you with relief from experiencing the discomfort of dry eyes.
As part of your post LASIK treatment we recommend the insertion of the LASIK plugs, on your first follow-up appointment.

• DO Have someone to pick you up, as you will not be able to drive.
• DO Arrive 30 minutes before surgery time.
• DON’T WEAR MAKE-UP OR PERFUME
  

On arrival you will be asked to sign a consent form, and then you will be taken into one of our preparation rooms.

	Your eye(s) will be cleansed and anesthetic eye drops will be instilled to numb your eye(s). When you are ready you will be escorted into the laser room and assisted to lie down on the laser couch.
	The doctor will ask you to open both eyes wide and an eyelid holder will be placed to prevent your eye from closing. If you do try to close your eye you will experience some discomfort.
	You will be asked to look at a red blinking light, this light will disappear temporarily whilst the flap is made. Once again the doctor will ask you to look at the red blinking light.
	In less than a minute the laser will reshape your cornea and your vision will be corrected.

You will be escorted back to the preparation room. Protective goggles will be placed over your eyes – keep these on until you come for your follow-up appointment.
