FAQs

Am I going to have 20/20 vision?

The success rate is over 99%.

Do the NO-CUT/PRK procedure hurt?

No. Before the procedure, numbing anesthetic drops are placed in the eyes, rendering the surgery itself virtually painless.

What are the risks involved in NO CUT/PRK?

Laser vision correction is extremely safe. Less than two percent of cases report minor complications, including over- or under-correction, infection and inflammation. These are treatable in our offices.

How long will my laser vision correction surgery results last?

The physical results are permanent and statistics show that most patients remain stable after 10 years. However, the eyes can still change with time, and laser corrective surgery does not affect a number of visual conditions associated with age.

What can I expect on the day of surgery?

Our NO-CUT procedure is an outpatient procedures, which means you’ll spend around an hour at the surgeon’s office and walk out afterwards. Someone else should drive you home, since your vision might be a little blurry right after surgery. The procedure itself is brief and painless. Dr. Goldberg will place anesthetic drops in your eye to eliminate any discomfort.  NO-CUT patients typically report little or no discomfort following their treatment. With NO CUT there may be some discomfort. Medication is supplied to relieve any post-operative irritation.

When can I return to work or sports?

Avoid swimming for one week.  After you’ve had NO-CUT, you can resume contact sports typically after 1 week.

NO-CUT patients are seen at our Toronto clinic the day following the procedure and 3 days later. They are asked to attend follow up appointments at 1, 2, 3, 6, and 12 months.
