An important precaution after laser surgery is to avoid rubbing your eyes. Rubbing can interfere with the healing of the eye during the first few days after the procedure.
- Keep your eyes safe from shampoo or soap.
- Avoid swimming in the first few weeks – pools may contain bacteria or germs that can cause infection.
- Do not visit saunas or steam baths for the next few days – humid air can lead to inflammation.
- Do not wear makeup or cosmetics for at least the first two weeks.
- Avoid being in dusty and polluted environments, such as construction sites and workshops.
- During the first few weeks, be careful with sports that carry a risk of eye trauma.
