What are the dos and don'ts after LASIK eye surgery?

< Back to FAQ

Do enjoy your new vision free of corrective lenses!

For 24 hours after surgery, let your eyes rest and concentrate on the recovery process:

Do not strain your eyes.
Do not get water in your eyes.
Do not rub, touch, or put pressure on your eyes.
Do not watch tv or look at computer, tablets, and smartphone screens for 24 hours.
Do not read.
Do not exercise as perspiration will irritate your eyes and make it more likely that you will rub your eyes.

Do follow the postoperative instructions given to you at Clearview.
Do remember to be gentle with your eyes; they need some time to heal.
Do look forward to enjoying all the days ahead with your clear vision!
