The procedure is completely painless. However, you might experience a foreign body sensation or burning for up to 6 hours after the treatment.
You can get back to your daily lifestyle soon after getting the treatment; however make sure your daily activities towards computer are restricted.
You can take a shower soon after the treatment, but you have to stay away from soap and shampoo. The water should not go directly into your eyes as well.
You are recommended to stop applying mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner 3 days prior to the treatment. Do not wear makeup, after shave, moisturizer or even lotion for that matter. You can start wearing the makeup one week after the treatment. After the treatment, you are recommended to get new makeup and stop using the old makeup.
You must avoid exercising for at least a month, because sweat in the eye should be avoided. It might lead to bacteria formation and affect the eyes. However, you can start non-contact sports once you start feeling comfortable. You must wear sports goggles to protect your eyes.
