Corneal Surgery | Preparation & Expectations | Home Care and Complications

What happens right after the procedure?

Corneal surgery is usually done on an outpatient basis in a same day surgery center. An eye patch may be put on after surgery. The person will be taken to the surgery recovery room. Once all the effects of anesthesia have worn off, and the person is able to drink fluids without nausea, he or she will be able to go home.
