12 Tips for fast recovery after Lasik - 3
9. Visit doctor regularly
Visit your doctor within 24 hours after your Lasik surgery has been completed. Your doctor can monitor your recovery progress and determine if you need any type of medication like pain killers or eye drops to prevent infection.
10. Take 2 days off work after LASIK
You may be able to return to work the day following your LASIK procedure, but if possible, take a couple of days off work until the post-LASIK symptoms get better.
11. Avoid playing sports and swimming
Two to three days after your LASIK procedure, you can resume Non-contact sports such as running, golf, if you feel capable. Wear a headband to keep sweat out of your eyes.
Strenuous or contact sports such as boxing, football, karate should not be attempted for at least one month after LASIK.
To reduce the risk of infection from contaminated water, you should stay out of swimming pools for at least 2 weeks following your LASIK procedure, and rivers, lakes, hot tubs, sea and oceans for one month after your LASIK treatment.
12. Contact your doctor immediately if you suspect a problem
After your LASIK procedure, you should expect some common symptoms such as burning and tearing, foreign body sensation, sensitivity to light, and discomfort. These symptoms should get better within 2-3 days after LASIK surgery. If your symptoms get worse or if you suspect a problem, you should contact your surgeon immediately and not wait for your scheduled visit.
In the absence of complications, your next appointments are usually 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year after LASIK surgery.
