LASIK<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The short answer: Seek help from your doctor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Eyes are very sensitive after any type of eye surgery \u2014 especially laser surgery like LASIK. It\u2019s crucial that you don\u2019t touch or rub your eyes after any procedure because your hands can transfer bacteria and other particles to your eyes. This can then disturb and prolong the healing process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">You will be given a shield to wear over your eyes after your LASIK procedure. This shield is designed to protect your eyes from germs and other particles, and prevent you from touching them by accident.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Now, if something gets behind the shield and winds up in your eye after LASIK, it\u2019s best to see your doctor for assistance. If you try to remove something yourself, it can cause damage to your eyes when they\u2019re extremely vulnerable. Your eye doctor can remove the foreign object and carefully examine your eyes to make sure they\u2019re clean and healing properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12933 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7.jpg\" alt=\"A model showing a cross section of an eyeball\" width=\"900\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7.jpg 900w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7-300x233.jpg 300w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7-768x597.jpg 768w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7-669x520.jpg 669w, https:\/\/img.ebdcdn.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/In-content-900_700-7-321x250.jpg 321w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"TextRun SCXW197528357 BCX0\" lang=\"EN-US\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW197528357 BCX0\" data-ccp-parastyle=\"heading 3\">Be Cautious After LASIK!<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The only items that should be making contact with your eyes after surgery are medications, including prescription steroid and antibiotic <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eyebuydirect.com\/blog\/how-to-put-in-eye-drops\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">eye drops<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">.
