Recovery time after LASIK surgery varies from person to person, but generally, here's what to expect:
1. Immediate recovery: Right after the surgery, you may feel some discomfort or blurry vision, but most people start to notice clear improvement within a few hours.
2. Recovery in the first few days: During the first few days after the surgery, most people can return to regular activities like office work. However, it's better to rest and avoid strenuous activities.
3. Full vision recovery: Around a week after the surgery, your vision will start to improve noticeably, but some people may need a week or two for their vision to stabilize even more.

Ongoing improvement: Your vision may continue to improve for weeks or even months after the surgery.
Post-surgery tips:

2. Use the prescribed eye drops to reduce dryness.
3. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes.
4. Avoid strenuous activities like swimming or intense sports for a while.
Follow-up care: It’s important to follow up with your doctor after the surgery to ensure proper healing.
