When Can I Drive After LASIK?

< Back to FAQ

We do not recommend that you drive without corrective lenses until we check your eyes the day after LASIK and confirm that you meet the legal requirements of 20/40 or better. Most patients receive the OK to drive the day after laser vision correction but the length of time may depend on your initial prescription and your individual healing.

Once we confirm that your eyesight meets the legal requirement of 20/40 to drive without corrective lenses and your eyes are comfortable, it may be safe to drive. As you heal, some patients may experience glare at night so we recommend that you feel comfortable with your night vision before driving at night.

We at Clearview take pride in providing you with the best care to set you on the road to clear vision and freedom from corrective lenses!
