6 Do Not’s After Lasik Surgery July, 2014 | Page 7

Using Cosmetics
The eyes must not come in contact with any
cosmetics of any type or degree for at least two
weeks to enable proper healing of the ablated
tissues after the Lasik procedure at any Lasik
center. Cosmetics contain ingredients which can
irritate the freshly ablated surface of the cornea
or worse could cause infections also. Applying
false eyelashes or touching of the surface of the
eye with finger tips is also not recommended.
Touching the surface of the eyes with finger tips
can dislocate the flap which has been created
during the Lasik Process.
