What are the restrictions after Lasik Eye Surgery?

No swimming for at least 3 days, ideally 2 weeks and no knuckle-rubbing eye rub for two weeks. As always, avoid getting soap or water directly into your eyes. Obviously, after Laser Vision Correction you will be on an antibiotic and soothing drops for one week. Showering with water in the face, shampooing hair, eyes closed is fine. Eye make up in 2 days but, preferably, a week. Common sense things.

When can I drive after the LASIK Eye Surgery?
You should not drive the day of the treatment. After that, you may drive when you feel confident that your visual acuity and eye comfort allow you to drive safely. Almost all of our patients are able to drive the next day. They achieve a vision equal or better than driving license requirements.

How soon can I use eye makeup?

You may resume wearing eye makeup starting 2 days, preferably a week after your treatment. We strongly recommend that you purchase new eye makeup, specifically mascara, to avoid potential infection following your treatment.

How soon can I swim after the LASIK Eye Surgery?
You should stay out of swimming pools for at least 3 days, ideally 2 weeks after your treatment, and rivers, lakes, hot tubs, sea and oceans for one month following your treatment.

When can I work after the LASIK Eye Surgery?
Most of our patients have good enough vision and are comfortable enough to return to work and drive the next day. An additional day or two is rarely required before returning to work. Healing can vary however from person to person so it is a good idea to maintain some flexibility in your work schedule immediately after your LASIK procedure. If you can, we recommend that you take it easy for a couple of days.
