LASIK Recovery Time
How long is typical LASIK surgery recovery time?
LASIK surgery recovery time is very minimal. Most of our patients are able to drive, work, and go out and socialize as soon as the next day after their procedure. The only recovery process is right after your surgery during the next 4-8 hours. Your doctor will want you to go home and sleep. If you do not sleep you may experience some eye irritation from the drops put in during the procedure.
Procedures can be done throughout the day to minimize your time away from school or work.
Things you should be able to do the next day after your LASIK eye procedure
Drive
Use Your Computer
Work
Exercise
Watch TV
Socialize
Things you should NOT do right after your LASIK eye procedure
