Don'ts After LASIK Surgery:
-
Avoid Rubbing Eyes: Refrain from rubbing, touching, or pressing on your eyes, as this can disrupt the healing process.
-
Limit Screen Time: Reduce screen time and avoid activities that strain your eyes, such as reading, watching TV, or using digital devices excessively.
-
Avoid Swimming and Hot Tubs: Steer clear of swimming pools, hot tubs, and other bodies of water for a few weeks to prevent infection.
-
Skip Strenuous Activities:Avoid strenuous exercise and activities that could lead to eye strain or accidental eye contact, such as contact sports.
-
No Eye Makeup:Avoid using eye makeup for at least a week or as advised by your surgeon to prevent debris from getting into your eyes.
-
Skip Using Taps and Sprays: Refrain from using tap water or sprays near your eyes, as they can introduce bacteria and irritate the healing tissues.
-
Avoid Rubbing Eyes: Refrain from rubbing your eyes, as it can worsen irritation or potential eye infections.
-
Avoid Driving Initially: It's best not to drive immediately after surgery. Wait until your vision stabilizes and your surgeon approves.
-
