    When I had my eye surgery, my eyes were really dry for a couple of weeks. That may be hard on the airplane trip, so remember to bring eye drops.
    I think that is about it. Be careful if you go under any water. Wear sunglasses and have fun!

    You’ll have to wear dark glasses for a while after your laser treatment as light affects the eyes and you will have bad headaches with it, you will need proper advise as you may need strong prescription sunglasses to protect your eys

    Always wear uv protection sunglasses regardless of the eye surgery. My relatives live in Africa and the sun really ruins eyes. The whites of your eyes turn yellowish and while we are on sun damage, wear a hat and use factor 16 or 30 sun cream. dont forget the backs of your hands and the tops of your ears. In Australia and New Zealand many people have there ears clipped where due to the sun cancerous growths have formed.
