What should patients do and not do after LASIK?

Do’s:
• After surgery, go home and rest
• Showers and baths are fine after LASIK surgery, but be careful and avoid getting water in your eyes

Don’ts:
• Do not rub your eyes
• For seven days after surgery avoid swimming, hot tubs and gardening. Avoid swimming in the ocean for two weeks.
• Make-up should not be used for about three days after surgery. Once you begin to wear make-up again be sure to buy new mascara and eyeliner.
• Wait before driving after surgery until after your first day post operative appointment with Dr. Feldman
