When can I start exercising after LASIK?

When you exercise after LASIK I want you to be careful to prevent two things:  1) infection and 2) a wrinkled flap.  So, let’s keep you away from nasty bacteria, and make sure you don’t squint or rub or squeeze your eyes for a week or two.

To prevent squinting your eyes when you strain during a workout, wait three days to exercise.  If you exercise in a gym, assume the equipment is covered in toxic bacteria.  Wash your hands before touching your face when working out after LASIK.

If you sweat a lot, use a cap, sweatband, or scarf to absorb the sweat so it doesn’t pour into your eyes.

But, yes, you can work out.  Just use a little care and judgment.  No problem.
