However, it’s essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions and recommendations for a smooth recovery.Eye Lubrication During Activities: During reading or engaging in prolonged screen time, you may find it helpful to keep your eyes lubricated. Using eye drops as directed can help prevent any discomfort and ensure a more comfortable experience.Personalized Healing PatternsRemember that everyone’s eyes heal differently, so it’s crucial to pay attention to your body and adhere to the specific guidelines provided by your LASIK surgeon.
