Question about laser eye surgery?

I am scheduled to have lasek eye surgery on the 14th and 26th of may.
On the 3rd of June i am flying to the states to work in a summer camp as a sailing instructor.

If I do get the surgery, I risk overexposure to sun, bacteria in the water, and improper healing damaging my eyes.
If I don’t get the surgery, I will have to wear contact lenses pretty much 24/7 while im over there, glasses dont really go with water! This means that i could damage my eyes ANYWAYS from prolonged use, and may not be able to have the surgery ever,

Any advice? thalasek.
yep they wont do the two eyes on the same day. its lasek.

you should be okay although maybe a bit sun sensitive, you might want to wear some dark, wrap around sunglasses. Also, your eyes can get really dry and if you are flying and being out on the water they may be even worse – definitely get some eye drops and maybe even see if you can get gel drops. i can remember what the brand name was but when I had my surgery my eyes were really dry and I was putting drops in every 10 minutes so the doctor gave me a gel that was essentially the same stuff as the drops but more concentrated and in a form that “stuck” to the eye better and didn’t wash away as quickly. btw, laser surgery was one of the best things I ever did so if you have a chance to have it -go for it!
