6 Do Not’s After Lasik Surgery July, 2014 | Page 11

Taking Showers
Patients should avoid taking bath under
showers since the water can get into the eyes
and cause infections. It is recommended that
the hair should not be washed for at least one
week after the Lasik procedure. Goggles must
be worn while bathing to protect the eyes
from water. Use a damp cloth to wipe the
face. Use of soaps and face wash is forbidden
for at least one week.
