Hi Tom, No definite figure for this, but I would allow 4 weeks for primary healing before trying to get pregnant. Regards. David

Hi,

I’m aware that surgery shouldn’t be conducted on women who are already pregnant. But could you tell me whether there is a need to delay pregnancy following LASIK surgery, and if so why and for how long?

Many thanks.

hi Chris, you have a very typical myopic prescription, with some astigmatism also in the left eye. All lasers should be doing a good job at this level of short sight. Generally I think the German lasers do better overall, especially WaveLight (Allegretto) and Schwind (Amaris). I personally prefer these lasers over the B&L or VISX. Best regards, David

Right S/C/A -4.00/0/0
Left S/C/A -4.25/-1.00/155.0

Hi Dave,

Are you able to help me differentiate between the main wavefront lasers? I’m looking at:

* B&L Zyoptix
* Alegretto Wave
* Visx

I’m sure they all produce good results but some are better than others; I’d like to understand why. I’m approaching the question from a moderate myopia w/ astigmatism angle.
