Is there light sensitivity after laser eye surgery?

You’ve been thinking about getting rid of your glasses or contact lenses. You’ve heard about laser eye procedures like Flow3 But then a thought pops up—what’s the recovery like? Will your eyes be sensitive to light?

If you’re wondering this, you’re not alone. And it’s a good question. Because being informed is part of being ready.

What is Flow3?

At KSA Vision Clinic we offer Flow3 —a high-tech, cut-free and touch-free laser eye procedure. It reshapes the surface of your eye to improve how light enters and focuses. That means no blades, no cutting, and no touching of the eye. Just precise, gentle correction.

It’s designed for people who want freedom from glasses and contact lenses. Most clients are between 18 and 45 years old. The procedure is safe, effective, and backed by years of experience. Now, let’s talk recovery.

Is light sensitivity normal?

Yes, it is. After your procedure, your eyes begin healing immediately. During this time, it’s common to notice:

• Sensitivity to bright light
• Slight blurriness
• A dry or gritty feeling
• Mild discomfort

This doesn’t mean anything is wrong. In fact, it means your eyes are doing what they’re supposed to—healing.

How long does it last?

For most people, the light sensitivity lasts just a few days. During the first week, vision starts to improve, and most clients feel well enough to return to everyday tasks. You might still squint in sunlight, but that fades too. Sunglasses can help ease the transition.

By the end of the first week, most clients feel comfortable. Your eyes are less sensitive. Your vision is getting clearer.

What should you do during recovery?

At KSA Vision Clinic, we’ll guide you through every step of recovery. But here are a few things to keep in mind:

• Rest your eyes, especially in the first few days
• Avoid bright screens and harsh lighting
• Kanna päikeseprille.
• Use your eye drops exactly as instructed
• Don’t drive until your vision feels safe

We also schedule regular check-ups to make sure your healing is on track. Our team is here for you—before, during, and after your procedure.
