It is important that you use the antibiotic eye drops prescribed to prevent infection. The protective eye shields should be worn while sleeping for the first five days to prevent accidental trauma to the cornea flap during the early healing period. You should be careful not to rub or squeeze the eyelids hard for the first 24 hours. Common painkillers and sedatives may be prescribed to alleviate discomfort and sleeplessness.

Most patients can return to work after a day’s rest. However, swimming and vigorous sport activities should be avoided for two weeks. You should avoid crowded and dusty places for one week to reduce the risk of infection. You should also avoid exposure to strong sunlight and wear sunglasses when outdoors. Contact sports should be avoided for three months.

Please keep to the scheduled follow-up visits to ensure your eyes are healing properly. Typically, the visits are the first day after op, five days later, two weeks later, one month and then three months later.
