Q: When can I resume regular activities after my laser laser vision correction?
A: Patients can resume most activities within 3-5 days after having (LASEK) laser vision correction?
Some general guidelines are as follows....
24 Hours Post Surgery
- Patients are permitted to shower, without the use of soap, and should exercise caution, as not to get water directly in the eyes.
- Although the eyes will be sensitive, watching TV and reading are permitted, in limited amounts, and in-keeping with the patients
comfort level, and with the use of lubricating drops.
4-5 days Post Surgery
- Patients are permitted to resume wearing face makeup (eye makeup can resume 1 week post surgery)
- Patients can resume exercises and activities that don't pose a risk of direct impact to the eyes
I;e (exercise bike, treadmill, weigh lifting)
- Flying on an airplane (With Dr's consent)
- Driving (Once 4 day post operative exam is completed, and with Dr's consent)
1 Month Post Surgery
- Patients are permitted to resume more high impact activities (With the use of appropriate eye protection)
such as skiing, swimming, scuba diving, tennis, baseball, basketball, biking, tanning etc.
