 So, you're getting lasik surgery. Great, you're on your way to enjoying greatly improved vision without the hassle of glasses or contacts. However, you might be a bit worried about getting through the post operation recovery phase without issue.

First of all, relax. In fact, it may be best if you go to sleep right after the operation. Don't watch TV, used the computer, read a book, or any other similar activity. Your eyes must stay relaxed, and sleeping is one of the best ways to ensure this.

You should wear sunglasses right after the surgery, until your eyes have recovered. |
