Question

How long after getting lasik surgery can you start going into a pool?

Answer 1

I agree with the previous poster, check with your doctor before listening to anyone on here. Initially when I had LASIK I was told 2 weeks for pool swimming and 4 weeks for ocean/lake, etc... But at my week follow up they said it was ok to swim in pools, oceans, etc... It really just depends on how quickly you personally heal.

Answer 2

That question would best be directed to the doctor that did the surgery. You wouldn't want to get incorrect info here and get screwed up.
