What should you do before laser eye surgery?
Laser eye surgery can change how you see the world. It can reduce your need for glasses or contact lenses.
Before surgery, good preparation is important. It helps keep your eyes safe and supports good results.
This guide explains what to do before laser eye surgery.
Learn about laser eye surgery
The first step is to understand the treatment. Laser eye surgery reshapes the cornea. This helps light focus correctly in the eye.
Common treatments include:
- LASIK
- Femto LASIK
- Trans PRK
Not every treatment suits every eye.
Check if you may be suitable
Not everyone can have laser eye surgery.
Suitability depends on:
- your vision
- your eye health
- your age
- vision stability
This is why testing matters.
Take a suitability self-test
A self-test is a simple first step. It helps you understand if surgery may suit you.

Il ne prend que quelques minutes.
Book a full eye assessment
If the self-test looks positive, the next step is an eye exam.
During the assessment:
- your eyes are measured
- cornea thickness is checked
- eye health is checked fully
This helps choose the safest treatment.
Stop wearing contact lenses
Contact lenses change the shape of the eye.
Before your exam and surgery, you must stop wearing them.
- soft lenses: stop 1–2 weeks before
- hard lenses: stop earlier
Your clinic will guide you.
Avoid eye makeup before surgery
Eye makeup can increase the risk of infection.
Before surgery:
- avoid mascara
- avoid eyeliner
- keep eyelids clean
Clean eyes help healing.
Tell your surgeon about your health
Share full health information.
Tell your surgeon if you:
- take medication

This helps keep treatment safe.
Ask questions and understand the risks
It is normal to have questions.

- risks

Plan time to rest after surgery
Laser eye surgery is quick. Recovery still needs rest.

- take time off work
- avoid driving at first
- rest your eyes
Arrange transport for surgery day
You cannot drive on surgery day.
Make sure someone:
- brings you to the clinic
- takes you home
Follow all pre-surgery instructions
Your clinic will give clear instructions.
These may include:
- when to eat or drink
- which drops to use

Follow them carefully.
