  • What happens if you blink during laser eye surgery?

    There should not be a problem if you blink while laser surgery is ongoing. For corneal refractive laser surgery, ophthalmologists usually use a lid speculum which keeps lids apart for the eye being worked on. When you try to blink, you can blink the non operative eye but the eye undergoing laser would not be able to blink because of the eyelid speculum. Further, most laser machines have eye tracking system which follows the eye movements and can adjust to your eyes movement while performed laser procedure. The person who is getting laser surgery for their retina, may also have an eyelid sepculum placed between their eyelids and the surgeon can adjust when patient tries to blink. Imtiaz A.
