Life is getting busier and busier for many of us. For many New York professionals, time can be our most precious commodity. Our jobs take up half our day and, oftentimes, we end up spending a good deal of our downtime working off the clock, in addition to dealing with the day-to-day necessities of life.

What this overscheduled, semi-controlled chaos means is that, more often than not, we don’t have time to do things for ourselves. When even small choices like getting a haircut can get pushed aside again and again, it can become nigh on impossible to make any time in your day for things that are important and necessary.
This can be a factor in a busy New Yorker putting off Lasik eye surgery NYC. Making time for an appointment, having your consultation and then the surgery, while also planning for recovery, can seem like an overwhelming process.
Fortunately, significant advancements in the field have made Lasik eye surgery NYC a comparatively quick and easy experience. Plus, at 5th Avenue Eye Center, we work around your schedule and go above and beyond to ensure that we work with your time constraints instead of vice versa. Your LASIK eye surgery NYC itself is not a lengthy or exhaustive process. In fact, it can take as little as a few minutes for each eye.

LASIK Recovery time is also much briefer than you might think. The first 24 hours of recovery are key- after that, you will be amazed at how quickly you can begin to see clearly again without contacts or glasses. Some patients have even experienced recovery within the first 24 hours, but the majority do like to take the first day for relaxation and downtime. All in, however, most patients can find themselves back at work and on a full schedule in just a few days.
While your vision makes the majority of its steps toward recovery immediately after your procedure, a complete recovery is usually confirmed after 3 months. In the meantime, however, you will be able to sustain your usual pace and quality of life. While you may experience minor side effects like occasional dry eye during this time, in the majority of cases you will not experience any significant discomfort and can go about with your usual work, hobbies and duties, per usual.
