Does Lasik Hurt? What Do You ACTUALLY Experience?

How can it be that you can correct vision with a surgery on the eye and it be painless? But that's just the case with lasik. There is only one part of lasik which hurts. And it's NOT during the procedure itself.
Lasik does not hurt. You can have weird sensations during the procedure but it is technically painless. However, immediately after the surgery for the first 2-4 hours the eyes can hurt.
It is only this short window after lasik in which you can have some pain. Fortunately this heals over pretty quickly. But lasik isn't completely sensation free; you will feel things other than pain during lasik.

I keep getting a stye on my eyelids *same eye. It can be on any part of the lid, upper or lower. Every 60 days or so I get one. My eyelid hurts and my eye burns. Can styes be viral and what can cure it? Thank you

Hi Joel, Styes are caused by blockages within small oil glands within the eyelids called meibomian glands. These create bumps called chalazion and if these get infected by skin bacteria they can become red and painful and become styes. Here is a great article which goes over reasons why you may be getting recurrent styes and what you can do about it. www.livestrong.com/article/13770328-keep-getting-styes/
