You’ll have a post-operative appointment with your surgeon within 24-48 hours of your surgery to check on your healing, your vision improvement, and discuss any symptoms or side effects you may be experiencing. During this appointment, your doctor will also tell you whether you’re cleared to drive—though driving at night may still be difficult for a little while. You’ll likely get the go-ahead to return to work as well if you haven’t already. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to be careful about not rubbing your eyes or getting any other substances in them.
