After LASIK Eye Surgery
It would be advisable to take a few days off from work or any activity that will lead you outdoors. In other words, stay home for a few days after the surgery.
LASIK eye surgery is accompanied by more burning and itching of your eye, an area that you are completely unable to scratch or cool because, at this point, any touching of the eye could undo everything the surgery just repaired.Your vision will be blurry because of the watering and tearing up of your eye, but you cannot under any circumstances touch your eye. If you experience severe pain from LASIK surgery at any time you should contact your surgeon.
You should be asked to go back for a post operative exam within 24-48 hours to make sure your eye is healing properly. At regular intervals, for up to six months you should continue seeing your doctor for checkups.
At the first visit after your doctor will remove the shield and make sure your eye is responding correctly to the surgery. You will not be able to use contact lenses for sometime to keep from further irritation and you may have to use drops or artificial tears to help with lubricating the eye.
You will be urged to abstain from any contact sports or activities for several days as well as continuing to keep from lotions or perfumes that could irritate the eye. The doctor may advise you to regularly wash your eyes out in the weeks following LASIK surgery to prevent infection.
It may take several months to stabilize your vision after LASIK eye surgery has taken place. You may experience some small visual impairment during this time, including halos or glare due to the eye’s healing process. These are normal in the first few months after surgery, but if they persist you should contact your doctor.
