To help get the best results, follow your doctors
instructions. The tips below will assist you
through a safer recovery.
DOs
-
Have someone drive you home after LASIK. You won't see
clearly enough to drive. You will also we wearing protective guards
over the treated eye(s).
-
Use your eye drops exactly as directed and keep all
follow-up visits with Dr. Cano.
-
Wear sunglasses when you're outdoors - your eye(s) may be
sensitive to bright light until it heals.

usually in a day or two, depending on your occupation and work environment.
-
Don't drive until your vision clears.
-
Don't go swimming, sit in a whirlpool, or hot tub, play
active sports, or wear eye makeup until advised by Dr. Cano.
