Does the procedure hurt?

You will not have any pain or discomfort during the procedure itself. With new techniques, less than one patient in ten has pain after the procedure, which is treated with pain medication for 24 to 48 hours. Most patients experience only some irritation, light sensitivity, and watering of their eyes for a few days.
