How To Take Care Of Your Eyes After Lasik

By Goldie Booker


For people who have visual impairments, one procedure that they can consider is Lasik Boston. It is kind of procedure where in the surgeon is going to create a flap. After this, a laser is going to be used to change the shape of the cornea. This is usually used for patients who have astigmatism and myopia.

After the surgery, it will take three months before the patient is going to see a very good improvement in your vision. During this time, you should be careful with your eyes so you will not experience any complication.

When you feel the need to rub your eyes, resist the temptation for this will only compromise the position of the flap. Do expose it to dust and dirt for this might cause infection and make sure that you will wear sunglasses to protect it from the elements and other things that can harm it.

For women, it is not advisable to wear make up during the first few days after the operation. This is creams or powder might irritate the eyes. Doctors would recommend that patients give themselves a week before they can put make up on.

During the months that will follow, one must avoid doing physical contact sports in order to avoid any injury. Other activities that one are going to be discourages are swimming in pools and hot tubs. You can resume driving after a week or after your doctor has given you the go signal.

Patients should be religious when it comes to their follow up care. This way the doctor can take note of any progress or complication. Follow up care should be done one day after the procedure, after one week, and then after one month.

To get the best out of Lasik Boston, do your best to protect your eyes from any complication. This will make your recovery faster and give you better results.
