When can I resume normal activities?

The day of the procedure should be spent resting. The next few days your eyes may be sensitive to light and you may want to take it easy, though many people find themselves actively going about their normal lives. Showering is acceptable, but swimming should be avoided. Soap and water should be kept out of the eyes when showering. Your eyes need to be protected with sunglasses when outdoors and activities should allow you to follow your doctors instructions for eye drop installation. Most people return to work within 3 to 4 days after PRK and 1-2 days after LASIK.
