If glasses and contact lenses interfere with your daily activities, you may want to consider undergoing laser vision correction (LVC). LASIK is a form of LVC that provides long-term results with a fast recovery time.

This procedure can reduce or even eliminate your dependence on glasses and contact lenses, giving you more freedom in living your life.

How Long Does LASIK Recovery Take?

After undergoing LASIK, you will generally experience blurred vision, irritation, and sensitivity to light. Most people begin to see more clearly after a day or two, and can return to work or other activities within the next few days.

You will receive eye drops and recommendations for using artificial tears. Use both according to your doctor’s instructions to maintain your eye health during the healing period.

Although you can return to most activities within a few days after LASIK, you should avoid the following activities and environments for two weeks:

• Sun exposure without sunglasses
• Dusty or smoky air
• Using make-up
• Swimming or getting water in your eyes
• Contact sports

The doctor will also give you eye protection to wear while sleeping. This tool is useful to prevent you from accidentally rubbing your eyes while you sleep.

During recovery, you will need to use artificial tears consistently for at least one month. Don’t miss scheduled doctor checkups so the doctor can assess your eye recovery.
