Why Does Your Vision Feel Blurry Right after SMILE Surgery?

Why Does Your Vision Feel Blurry Right after SMILE Surgery?

During SMILE surgery, some disturbance may occur on the surface of the cornea; therefore, it’s completely normal to experience blurred vision on the day of the procedure. This blurriness can also occur with LASIK and LASEK surgeries. However, the vision gradually becomes clearer.


How Long Does The Pain Last after Surgery?



In the case of LASIK surgery, the pain may last for about 6 hours after the procedure. For SMILE LASIK, the pain usually lasts around 3 to 4 hours. Compared to LASIK, SMILE LASIK tends to cause discomfort for a shorter duration.


Whether it’s LASIK or SMILE, any minor disturbance to the corneal surface during the surgery can cause tiny scratches, which are the primary reason for post-operative pain.


On the day of the procedure, your vision may appear slightly blurry. By the next day, you’ll likely start to see more clearly. With SMILE LASIK, around 90–95% of the visual correction can be felt immediately after surgery. However, it typically takes about 2 to 3 weeks to reach full correction.


Will Vision Be Clear after LASEK Surgery?



During the LASEK healing process, the epithelial layer regenerates from the outer edge toward the center after being removed. Once the epithelium has completely covered the surface, patients often experience a sudden loss in visual clarity. This blurry sensation near the end of recovery is actually normal for LASEK.


Typically, vision feels relatively okay on the first day after surgery. However, on days 2 to 3, patients often notice a sudden vision loss. After about 3 to 4 days, as the central part of the cornea begins to heal, vision gradually improves again.
