The initial recovery period after LASIK is usually six to twelve hours, however it varies from patient to patient based on a variety of variables. Most people can see perfectly within 24 hours of having vision correction surgery, but others need two to five days. The eye doctor performing your procedure will tell you how long it will take for you to get back to your regular activities. Generally, patients are able to return to work the following day and resume their normal routines after two weeks. It's very important not to engage in any activity that could put pressure on your eyes immediately following LASIK. This includes reading, watching television, using a computer, etc. It is recommended to avoid all activity that could strain or push the eyes until fully recovered. When returning to work, it's important to communicate with your employer about how you're feeling post-surgery. If you have visual problems such as blurry vision or dry eyes, let them know so they can provide you with appropriate accommodations. LASIK is one of the most popular surgeries performed today because it allows people to achieve clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts. However, it is important to understand that this type of surgery does not give you complete protection against future eye diseases. You still need to take care of your eyes by getting adequate sleep and rest, as well as avoiding trauma to the face or body.
