You can safely resume using Chicago's public transportation system 24-48 hours after your LASIK procedure. However, we recommend having someone accompany you on your first few trips, particularly during rush hour on busy routes like the Blue Line or Irving Park buses. The vibration and sudden movements common on Chicago transit won't affect your LASIK results, but your eyes may be sensitive to bright lights and screens in stations and trains during the initial recovery period.

During your initial recovery period, avoid specific Chicago activities that could expose your eyes to irritants or strain. This includes avoiding swimming in Lake Michigan for at least two weeks, staying away from dusty conditions along the 606 trail or Lakefront Path, and limiting exposure to wind off the lake. We also recommend waiting 1-2 weeks before attending outdoor festivals or Cubs/Sox games where you might encounter smoke, dust, or intense sunlight.
LASIK surgery can significantly improve your ability to see Chicago's magnificent skyline, especially at night. Many patients report enhanced clarity when viewing the city lights from popular vantage points like the Skydeck, John Hancock Observatory, or along Lake Shore Drive. The procedure often reduces glare and halos around lights, making nighttime driving and enjoying evening activities in Chicago more comfortable. However, individual results vary, and we'll discuss your specific vision goals during your consultation.
