New dimension of sport

Nowy wymiar sportuMany patients ask us when they will be able to go back to sport after having undergone a laser vision correction surgery. It is totally understandable, as the urge to get rid of any limitations is the main reason they decide to undergo such operation. After laser vision correction surgery sport gains a new dimension. For example, you don’t have to worry about your contact lenses falling out while you are swimming and you don’t have to remember to take them off or to clean them while camping. Laser vision correction solves all those problems.

Thanks to very safe and precise laser vision correction methods we can return to our everyday routines, including intensive trainings, very shortly after the surgery!

Normal, everyday activities are possible on the next day after SBK LASIK procedure and after 4-7 days after other types of surgery. Physical activity can be started after a week, but we have to remember to avoid exercises which may increase intraocular pressure and to avoid sudden bows and head movements. In the following weeks we can gradually increase the intensity of the trainings. Those who are fond of extreme or very intensive sports have to wait a bit longer to return to their favourite sport. Activities such as strenuous physical exercises, contact or team games, martial arts or diving should be put off for at least 1-2 months due to the possibility of trauma.
