Ask how the process works for your individual procedure, what potential side effects there are, and how long healing will last.<\/p>\n<p>Knowledge alleviates anxiety and puts you in charge of your health.

Contact lenses can interfere with the natural shape of your eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Also, don&#8217;t wear any creams, lotions, or eye makeup prior to your surgery. Makeup-free, cleaned skin minimizes the chance of infection.
