Every refractive surgeon/ophthalmologist will have a specific set of written instructions for you to follow after your LASIK surgery including which prescription eye drops to use, how often to use them daily, and for how long to use them for. An antibiotic drop is provided to prevent post-op infections. A steroid is prescribed in order to reduce inflammation. You will also be using artificial tears for a longer period of time in order to lubricate the cornea and to reduce corneal dryness. Your eye doctor will know your eyes the best and will determine exactly which drops will be used. If you have any questions, please consult with them to be exact about every detail that you are concerned about. Good luck and best wishes.
