Скачать или смотреть Having Eye Surgery? Do This First

Planning to get LASIK, cataract surgery, ICL, or any type of corrective eye procedure? Don’t schedule that surgery without taking steps to optimize your eye health beforehand. Your eyelids, tear film, and overall eye surface health all play a crucial role in how well you heal, how accurate your results are, and how likely you are to experience dry eye or other complications.

In this video, Dr. Joseph Allen shares his evidence-based pre-op routine for getting the best results possible, based on the latest research and his personal experience preparing for ICL surgery. You’ll learn:

✅ The best way to clean your eyelids
✅ Whether to use eyelid wipes or baby shampoo
✅ Warm compresses: how often and which type
✅ Why your tear film matters (even if you don’t have dry eye)
✅ When to stop wearing contact lenses
✅ The right way to use preservative-free eye drops
✅ Which nutritional supplements can help you heal faster
✅ Why sleep and diet really matter more than you think

Whether you're weeks away from surgery or just starting to consider it, this guide will help set you up for success 🧠💡
AS ALWAYS - don't just take my word for it, always consult with your local eye doctor about what is best for your eyes and health.
