  1. Effect of Laser Eye Surgery on your Travel Plans Know what are the precautions you should carry when travelling for vacation or work.

  2. Introduction LASIK is a popular refractive surgical treatment that can improve the vision of people who have refractive errors such as myopia. Lasik surgery can also improve reading vision, known as Presbyopia. Laser Eye Surgery is a good option if you also want to get rid of your reading glasses. It offers numerous advantages, including the fact that it is relatively inexpensive, highly effective, and can be performed in less than half an hour. And the best thing about LASIK is that the recovery time is pretty fast.

  3. More often than not, people return to their work the next day after their Lasik surgery. However, often people wonder if they can travel long distances post Lasik Surgery. Well, the quickest answer to your question is - It all depends! It's best to consult Lasik surgery specialists for specific recommendations based on your unique set of circumstances.

  4. Vacations Post Lasik Eye Surgery Although there are no restrictions on traveling, following post Lasik guidelines is crucial. Patients frequently schedule the LASIK procedure during their holiday breaks. However, flying is not allowed after Lasik surgery. The cabins in the airplane are dry, which can cause significant discomfort during flying. So, you should always put your travel plans on hold post Lasik. Any kind of discomfort can hamper the healing procedure, which is not wise at all. And if it is really necessary to travel, then make sure you follow proper post-surgery instructions, such as:

  5. Precautions for Vacations • Avoid keeping your eyes open during traveling or flying. • Avoid reading a book or watching a movie during your travels. • You can consider taking a nap over an in-flight movie or book. • Use lubricants or artificial tears prescribed by your doctor while you're in the air. • Avoid swimming pools, hot water bathing, and Jacuzzis during your vacations. It is because the incision in your eye is still healing and vulnerable to infection. Swimming and hot baths can adversely affect your eyes and hamper the healing process. • Also, it is good to avoid contact sports during that time period.

  6. Travel to Work Post Laser Eye Surgery You can return to your work the next day after your Lasik surgery. However, you should be careful about how you travel to your office. If you commute via public transport, then it is advised to take a few days off from work. Public transports are often crammed, and traveling via public buses or trains can affect your eyes adversely. Of course, the safety of your newly treated eyes is essential. Although the LASIK procedure is minimally invasive, it does necessitate an incision in the cornea by your surgeon. This incision, though small, requires time, a safe environment, and plenty of moisture to heal. And traveling via public transport can impede healing. You can even talk about it with your doctor so that he/she can help you with the best solution.
