After LASIK surgery, you should lie down, relax, and close your eyes. Watching television, reading, or operating a computer should be avoided for the first 24 hours. The LASIK surgery recovery process requires your eyes to remain relaxed.
Do not rub your eyes. Protective eye shields should be worn for the first seven nights. Some patients report a mild burning sensation two to four hours into LASIK surgery recovery as the anesthetic wears off. The sensation resembles wearing an itchy or dirty contact lens.
Wear sunglasses after surgery – rain or shine. Take baths instead of showers for the first 24 hours after surgery and be careful not to allow the shower to spray directly into your face for the first week. Use a face cloth and be careful not to rub your eyes. Avoid eye makeup and smoky or dusty environments for a week. Avoid alcohol consumption for 48 hours after LASIK surgery.
Your surgeon or ophthalmologist will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your LASIK results and potential problems such as epithelial growth. Contact your physician immediately if you experience any complications. Doctor P
