It’s okay to cry after your LASIK surgery.
Whatever the reason you may want to cry, natural tears won’t harm your eyes or delay the healing process. Crying may actually keep your eyes lubricated and that helps the healing process.
In fact, many patients cry immediately upon sitting up after LASIK. They are usually tears of joy when patients realize that they can see without glasses or lenses!
However, if you do cry, remember DO NOT touch your eyes or wipe away your tears. Putting pressure on your eyes and rubbing your eyes can harm your eyes while they are healing, that is why we place goggles over your eyes immediately after laser eye surgery. To ensure the best outcome, it is best avoid rubbing your eyes for one month after LASIK.
