LASIK is a permanent procedure. In some cases, however, an enhancement procedure may be required. Some patients’ eyes may change throughout their lifetime, which can happen with glasses or contact lenses as well.
Unless your surgeon approves protective eyewear, active sports should be postponed for two weeks or until the eye is fully healed. Swimming, hot tubs, and saunas should be avoided as well. After a full recovery, normal activity can resume, and the ability to play sports without glasses makes them more enjoyable for many patients.
