After my appointment, how long will my eyesight be affected?

Your eyesight may become blurry and your eyes may become very sensitive to light and glare for up to six hours.  We recommend that you bring a pair of sunglasses to help with the sensitivity to light.

You must not drive a vehicle or operate machinery until you feel that you can see clearly.
