You can wash your face with water after LASIK, but there are some important things to keep in mind:
Gentle Washing
- Avoid rubbing your eyes: Use your fingertips to gently splash water on your face and pat it dry with a clean, soft towel.
- Avoid harsh soaps: Use a mild, fragrance-free cleanser.
- Be careful with splashes: Avoid getting soap or water directly in your eyes.
Post-LASIK Care
- Follow your doctor's instructions: Your surgeon will provide specific instructions on how to care for your eyes after LASIK.
- Keep your eyes clean: Washing your face is an important part of keeping your eyes clean and healthy after LASIK.
- Protect your eyes: Wear sunglasses and avoid rubbing or touching your eyes.
Washing your face with water after LASIK is generally safe, but remember to follow your doctor's instructions for optimal healing and eye health.
