FAQs
What should I do to prepare for my LASIK or cataract surgery?
Before surgery, avoid wearing contact lenses for the recommended period, arrange transportation home, and follow any medication guidelines your doctor provides. We’ll cover all these details during your pre-operative visit at Riverview Eye Care.
How soon will I notice vision improvement after surgery?
Many patients experience clearer vision within 24 to 48 hours after LASIK. Cataract surgery vision improvement can also be rapid but may take a few days to stabilize fully. Your recovery timeline will be reviewed during your care visits.

When should I contact Riverview Eye Care if I have complications?
If you experience persistent pain, sudden vision changes, increased redness, or discharge, contact us immediately at (813) 498-1905. Early intervention is key to addressing any issues.
Can I wear makeup or use skincare products after surgery?
It’s recommended to avoid eye makeup and facial creams near the eyes for about a week after your procedure to reduce infection risk. We’ll advise you on timing to safely resume your routine.
