How soon can I return to work or exercise after vision correction surgery?
Recovery varies according to the procedure and the individual. Discomfort and fluctuating vision may last longer after LASEK, while temporary dryness or fluctuations in vision can also occur after LASIK or lenticule extraction. When you can safely drive, exercise, swim, or wear eye makeup depends on your postoperative examinations and your surgeon’s instructions.
