Preguntas frecuentes

How soon after LASIK can I return to work in downtown Chicago?

__wf_reserved_heredar

Most patients from Lower West Side can return to their downtown Chicago workplace within 24-48 hours after LASIK surgery, similar to Lincoln Park residents. However, if your job involves extensive computer work (1) or exposure to environmental elements, you might want to schedule your procedure before a weekend to allow additional recovery time. We recommend avoiding dusty construction areas common in downtown Chicago during your initial recovery period.

Can Chicago's weather conditions affect my LASIK recovery?

__wf_reserved_heredar

Chicago's variable weather patterns require special consideration during LASIK recovery. During winter months, protect your eyes from harsh winds off Lake Michigan. In summer, wear quality sunglasses to shield against intense UV reflection from downtown's glass buildings. We provide specific post-operative guidelines tailored to Chicago's unique climate conditions.

Is LASIK a good option for Chicago residents who enjoy watersports on Lake Michigan?

__wf_reserved_heredar

LASIK can be an excellent choice for active Chicagoans who enjoy Lake Michigan activities. After full recovery (typically 4-6 weeks), you can resume water sports without concerns about contact lenses or glasses. However, we recommend waiting at least one month before swimming in Lake Michigan and always wearing protective eyewear during water activities. Many of our patients report enhanced enjoyment of lakefront activities after LASIK, from swimming to sailing.
