Main Information

Patients will usually be given a course of antibiotic eye drops in order to prevent infection and inflammation and these eye drops are usually continued for a number of weeks following surgery. Usually, patients are given dark eyeglasses or are advised to wear sunglasses to protect their eyes from sunlight and bright light and may also be given protective goggles to wear while asleep, to prevent rubbing of the eyes and dry eyes. Some patients will also be required to use preservative-free tear drops to moisturise the eyes, and some will be given a bandage contact lens to aid healing. These contact lenses are typically removed within 3-4 days following surgery.
It's recommended that you do not drive or operate heavy machinery for the first few days following LASIK eye surgery, although some doctors might recommend that you wait for at least a week. You should see your doctor at regular intervals for the first six months following surgery, and you should wait for one to three days before taking part in any physical activity such as non-contact sports. Your doctor may advise that you wait for at least two weeks before using creams, lotions or makeup around the eye area and you should avoid swimming and hot tubs for around two months following surgery to avoid infection. Strenuous contact sports should be avoided for at least a month to avoid any possible damage to the eye area.
If you experience any debilitating symptoms, such as worsened vision or severe pain during the first few days following surgery, or at any other time following surgery, see your doctor immediately. You might also need to use sedatives or painkillers following surgery in order to control the pain. Always follow the advice of your physician.
