How Long Does Laser Eye Surgery Take?

In refractive errors in the eye, the use of glasses or lenses can be considered as a result-oriented treatment method. However, if you do not want to have to wear glasses or lenses, then you can choose to have laser treatment. Laser eye surgery, which we can show as a solution-oriented effective treatment rather than an alternative method, is also frequently preferred by patients. But of course, we are talking about a surgical operation. For this reason, there are many points that remain as question marks in the minds of patients. One of the question marks is the question of how long laser eye surgery takes. Let’s give the answer to this question that creates a question mark in minds.

What is the Duration of Laser Eye Surgery? How Much Time Does The Surgery Take?

Let’s start by stating that there is no definite time for surgery. Depending on various factors, changes may occur in the duration of surgery.

Main Factors That May Affect Duration

  • The technologies used.
  • The condition of the patient’s eye.
  • Whether the operation will be performed in one eye or both eyes.
  • The doctor’s experience.

These and related factors may cause the duration of the operation to vary. However, if we want to make a general evaluation, we can say that the operation is short. If there is no additional condition, the operation is usually completed within 15-30 minutes.

Of course, do not forget that all details should be discussed before the operation and laser degree determinations should be made specifically for the patient. We can say that a specialist doctor examination is essential for this.
