how long does laser eye surgery work

how long does laser eye surgery work

Should I avoid heavy lifting after PRK laser eye surgery?

I’m mainly referring to lifting I need to do at work (moving boxes of British product around, stocking shelves, lifting fruit baskets, etc).

Also, I’m wondering how long until I can start doing push-ups again?
I had the surgery done 8 days ago and I went back to work today so I started to wonder.

Frankly, there is no problem at all in lifting weights, and doing push ups.

Some types of surgery requires a sutureless incision, and that can gape if you are lifting very heavy weights or so, though this would also be difficult.

In your case, PRK involves no incision whatsoever, and the eye has healed already, since it has been some days since surgery. So go ahead and return to all normal activities.
