How many days rest is required after eye LASIK surgery?
After LASIK eye surgery, most people can return to their normal activities within a day or two. However, it's generally recommended to rest your eyes for at least 24 to 48 hours after the procedure to allow for initial healing. During this time, you should avoid strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and activities that could cause eye strain or potential harm. In addition to this immediate rest period, its crucial to follow your surgeon's post-operative care instructions. This often includes: 1. *Avoiding Rubbing Your Eyes*: This is important for at least a few weeks. 2. *Using Prescribed Eye Drops*: These help with healing and prevent infection. 3. *Wearing Protective Goggles*: Especially while sleeping for the first few nights. 4. *Avoiding Contact Sports and Swimming*: For a few weeks, to prevent complications. Each individual's recovery can vary, so it's best to follow the specific advice given by your eye doctor. READ MORE
My dr said my old glasses were two numbers two strong
Good evening! I can understand that. Check to see what their remake policy is on eyeglasses. I would try the new Rx glasses if they will redo Rxs for free if you feel the new glasses are too weak. If not, you should tell the dr you are happy with the old glasses and don't want to change. Hope that helps :-). Thank you! READ MORE
