What should I look out for after eye surgery?

It is important to remember that the laser vision correction process does not end with the surgery. Aftercare is very important, which extends to the following:

• use the eye drops provided by the ophthalmologist;
• wear UV-filter sunglasses for 3 to 6 months after the surgery when you are outdoors,
• return to the clinic for follow-up visits;
• keep away from dusty environments and other sources of potential infection (such as swimming pool water, bath water and objects contaminated with dirt) in the first weeks after the surgery;
• you must not rub your eyes for 3 months after the surgery as that would cause flap dislocation potentially resulting in micro-wrinkles and vision impairment. We strongly recommend to use the protective glasses received after surgery during the first week to prevent flap dislocation.
  Planned pregnancies should be timed for at least 3 months after the surgery.
