LASIK Eye Center of Silicon Valley - Dr. Gary Kawesch

Many people from Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco, California come to our office wondering if it will be safe to travel after they have had LASIK. We are happy to tell them that there have been almost no vision problems associated with flying or other travel after a LASIK procedure.

At first your eyes will feel irritated, so we don’t recommend that you travel very soon after your LASIK surgery. The best thing you can do in the immediate recovery period is to rest and relax at home until your eyes are finished healing. Three months is a typical time for complete healing, but it may be shorter in your case. Then you can feel free to travel wherever you like.

LASIK can correct all but the most severe myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism and provide you with near-perfect vision without the use of glasses or contacts. If you have any other questions about LASIK, please visit our LASIK and LASIK FAQ pages to learn more about this procedure.

To speak with one of our experienced LASIK ophthalmologists in person and to schedule your LASIK vision correction surgery, please contact Dr. Gary Kawesch, surgical ophthalmologist at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley to schedule your personal consultation.
