How long will it take for me to recover after a lens replacement treatment?

After a lens replacement treatment you can quickly return to your normal activities. However, your eye may still be sensitive for a few weeks, even to bright light. It is best to spare your eye a bit. For example, do not rub the eye. To prevent you from accidentally rubbing your eye in your sleep, you can wear an eye cap at night.

It is better not to exert yourself too much in the first week after the operation. You can exercise again after two weeks. Do you do a contact sport, such as martial arts or football? Then talk to your doctor about when you can do that again.

Swimming is possible again after four weeks.
