Be sure to follow your post-operative instructions carefully and use the eye medications as directed. You will need to plan to visit your doctor again ten days to two weeks after the surgery. In total, you will see your doctor at least three to six more times, after one month, three months and at six months. You may return to your normal exercise routine when you feel comfortable doing so. Remember, as with any surgery, you may feel a bit more tired than usual in the first few days.
Most people see significant improvement almost immediately.
It is important to remember that you may notice some fluctuations in your vision for up to three months, it is a sign that your eyes are healing. During the first weeks after your surgery, your vision will stabilize and you will begin to see for yourself again. It's normal to have some blurring the first week or so, especially when reading or doing close work, since your distance vision may improve first. You may feel a little off balance and your depth perception may be affected. Use extra care when driving or using equipment.
