1. You have laser surgery so you don't have to wear glasses or contacts anymore or as much. Your Doctor may have you wear glasses for a period of time before the surgery. I am confused by your question... Hope that was what you were looking for...
2. you need to stop about 3 weeks before you get the surgery, or it could affect it. your doctor will tell you exactly what to do!
3. Laser surgery is done in guidance of a eye surface map-this map changes by contact ens use-you should stop wearing them at least 4 weeks before your surgery appointment. Contact lens wearers are often developing a dry eye that gets worse after surgery-you will need more tear drops than others-that's all.
