After LASIK or PRK, recovery instructions should match the technique and the condition of your eyes. Leave the clinic knowing the drop plan, review appointments, restrictions and the quickest way to get clinical help.
Key points
- Use the written instructions for your own procedure.
- Do not rub the eyes or alter prescribed drops without guidance.
- Ask the team to clear work, driving, sport and travel.

Know what procedure you had
Keep the operation name, date and eye or eyes treated. LASIK, femto-LASIK and surface laser procedures do not have identical early recovery. If a protective contact lens was fitted, ask who will assess and remove it.
Use the prescribed plan
Confirm each drop’s name, which eye it is for and how long it is needed. Ask about hygiene and spacing if several drops are prescribed. Do not add an antibiotic, steroid or another person’s medicine on the basis of online advice.
Attend the review even if you feel well
A clinician checks more than how sharp vision seems. Ask about symptoms that should bring you back sooner and any change to the plan after examination. The treatment team should decide when it is appropriate to resume normal activities. [1]
Plan care after leaving Shiraz
Keep your procedure records and follow-up contact details. Arrange a clinician at home if further review is needed. Persistent or increasing pain, a marked visual change or other unexpected symptoms need prompt professional assessment.
Your visit to Shiraz
Start with the eye-specialist directory and the appointment planning guide. Confirm the clinician, exact location, proposed tests and reviews before making travel arrangements.
For costs, request an itemised written quote identifying the eye or eyes, procedure or medicine, facility fees and follow-up. The costs guide explains what to compare. Accommodation, interpretation and transfers should be confirmed separately.
Common questions
Can I remove the protective contact lens myself?
Do not remove or replace it yourself unless the treating service has explicitly instructed you.
Can I use a friend’s recovery timetable?
No. Your own procedure, examination and healing determine the instructions.
