Lasik Eye Surgery Aftercare: The Do's And
The Don’ts
By: Sara Chambers
Lasik surgery is becoming increasingly popular among
individuals struggling with vision problems. Providing people
with a way to toss out glasses and contacts, lasik surgery
offers complete vision to those who have lived their whole
lives on those mechanisms. Still, there are things to consider,
including how the surgery works and the dos and don’ts of lasik
eye surgery aftercare.
How the Surgery Works
Lasik eye surgery is not a long process. In fact the FTC
explains the procedure only takes 10 to 15 minutes per eye.
During the procedure, a small flap is cut and lifted away from
the eye. The tissue of the cornea is then reshaped by the laser
and then protected by a plastic or metal shield.

What You Should Do After
Another important element is taking your medication as
described by the prescription. If you need help with drops, ask
for it. Wait the appropriate length of time as described by
your doctor before you continue with your regular activities
such as work. Lomas Eye Care adds that you should wear eye
protection during the nighttime to keep anything from bumping
or scraping the eye. Drink adequate water to keep hydrated.
What You Should Avoid After
There are many, many things you will want to avoid after your
surgery. The first of these is rubbing your eyes. Do not, under
any circumstances rub your eyes. In addition, avoid driving
until your vision is completely clear and focused. In addition,
the Federal Trade Commission also recommends that you keep away
from hot tubs and swimming.
Keep away from strenuous physical activities, especially one
that could cause eye injury. Also do not exercise for a week
after the operation. In addition to these things, you should
keep away from smoky, dusty areas and refrain from wearing eye
makeup.
Conclusion
Lasik eye surgery can change a person’s life, and in most cases
healing time is relatively quick. But this time can be made
easier if individuals follow the dos and don’ts listed above.
If you follow your doctor’s instructions, you are much more
likely to heal without complications.
