Frequently Asked Questions

When can I return to sporting activities?

Once your vision allows, you can resume all activities. You should avoid strong sunlight and dirty or dusty environments for as long as possible after treatment.

LASIK patients are advised to avoid contact sports for at least three months after treatment. All patients should avoid swimming for one month as there is a risk of irritation and infection. Avoid using suntan beds for up to six months after treatment. Ladies should not wear eye make up after LASIK for at least two weeks.
