Are there restrictions after having CK?
As with any other type of vision procedure, certain precautions should be taken after CK. You should avoid getting water in your eyes for at least 4 days. This includes water from swimming pools, spas, lakes and the ocean. When showering or taking baths, you should keep your eyes closed to avoid getting soap and water in them. When exercising, sweat should be kept out of the eyes for at least 4 days after the procedure. Also, you should avoid rubbing your eyes vigorously for two weeks following the procedure. Eye makeup should not be used for 4 days after the procedure. Dr. Manrique will go over all this information during your consultation.
