No — LASIK is virtually painless. Before the procedure begins, we apply numbing eye drops so you feel nothing during the laser itself. Most patients describe a brief sensation of gentle pressure for a few seconds when the corneal flap is created. Any mild discomfort afterward typically resolves within a few hours. At Florida Eye Custom Vision in Jacksonville, FL, our surgical team — including Dr. Amit Chokshi and Dr. S. Akbar Hasan — has guided more than 24,000 patients through this process.
