A. Patients are instructed no-swimming for the first week postoperatively. Once your eye is healed as determined by your doctor during your follow-up visits, there are generally no limitations to the activities which you may perform. As always, it is recommended that you wear proper eye protection when engaging in any activity which can cause injury to the eye.
