How soon after LASIK Surgery can I go Scuba
Diving?
Question: How Soon After Lasik Surgery Can I Go Scuba
Diving?
Answer:
There is a broad range of time that is recommended to wait by
surgeons for diving after LASIK.
While some recommend wait as little as six weeks, there are
some others that recommend six months.
The truth is that there is no rule of thumb about the time that
should be waited. In fact, there is still an ongoing debate
within LASIK surgeons about this.
However, being clever, the only one that could give you a real
estimate is your surgeon as every LASIK surgery is different
and every body will heal different. Therefore is your surgeon
notice that your cornea has fully recovered and healed quickly,
he will probably go to the six weeks period, otherwise, he will
ask you to wait more.
If you are a diving professional, you should go for the six
months and special considerations from your doctor should be
made considering the depth you dive.
If you are a recreational diver, wait as much as you can.
