Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
How Soon Can I Go Running After Lasik Eye Surgery?
Running After Lasik
Nov 1, 2016
Running or any other physical activities may result sweating. From that point of view we don’t recommend running first two days after the surgery. You can go running 2 days after LASIK as long as you are careful- do not rub your eyes and wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. To be safe start with moderate running.
Is It Safe to Fly After Lasik Surgery?
Flying after Lasik surgery
Oct 21, 2016
It is fine to fly two days after Lasik if you had your 1-2 days post op visit. Altitude or pressure changes would not affect surgery result. But you might need to use lubricating eye drops more often caused by dry air in the plane.
With a Prescription of -10.5, Am I a Candidate for Lasik?
High myopia and Lasik
Oct 21, 2016
For high myopia it is safer to do PRK procedure, because it requires less tissue from the cornea, because a flap is not being created. The doctor will also determine if the patient requires PRK, based on their corneal thickness and curvature.
Lasik for Astigmatism?
Lasik for Astigmatism?
Oct 21, 2016
Astigmatism is a refractive error like myopia and hyperopia which can be corrected with a Lasik procedure.
How Long Does Dry Eye Last After Lasik?
Dry eye after Lasik
Oct 21, 2016
Dry eye symptoms following by refractive surgery are relatively mild. Typically disappear in 3-6 months. However some patients have severe dry eye symptoms that might need to be treated with additional eye drops.
When Is It Ok to Rub Eyes After Lasik?
Rubbing your eyes after LASIK
Oct 18, 2016
It depends how fast you heal. Normal healing usually takes about two weeks. It is difficult to dislodge the flap two weeks after LASIK. But it is a good question to ask a doctor on your follow up appointments. If you are rubbing your eyes because they are itchy let your doctor know at your follow up as there are eye drops that can help.
Can You Have LASIK Twice?
Can You Have LASIK Twice?
Oct 17, 2016
A second procedure is potentially possible as long as the patient meets the medical requirements needed by the doctor. For example enough prescription and enough cornea thickness.
