Glare following laser surgery for myopia can be managed with warm compresses and topical eye medications. The procedure primarily employs a cool (non-thermal) laser to reshape the anterior corneal surface, thereby correcting refractive error and improving visual acuity. For glare symptoms, apply a clean, warm towel as a compress to the eyes, followed by gentle massage with clean fingers. Postoperatively, use prescribed eye drops as directed by your physician to alleviate ocular fatigue.
