Laser eye surgery is a procedure that reshapes the cornea of the eye to correctly focus light on the retina. It is a safe and effective way to correct vision problems, but it is important to follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care. After the procedure, you should take time to rest your eyes and use medications and eye drops as prescribed. Avoid strenuous activities, such as exercising, for at least one week.
Contact sports should also be avoided until your doctor says it is safe to participate in them again. You may experience some discomfort after the surgery, such as itching, burning, or sensitivity to light. To help with these symptoms, keep your eyes closed and store eye drops in the fridge for a pleasant cooling sensation when you put them on. Following these guidelines will help ensure a successful recovery.
