Can I work in the heat after ICL surgery?

Question

What r the occupational precautions to be taken after implantable contact lens surg ? like..exposure to heat, radiation, athletic activity, driving etc.?

Arthur Benjamin, MD · Answer

Once you are outside of the immediate postoperative period of about 2 weeks, it is is generally safe to return to regular activities.  These may include: Strenuous athletic activityDrivingOutdoor activities, such as golf In our practice I've had patients climb K2 and dive the great barrier reef a month after the procedure.  Other extremes that you are mentioning like radiation or heat (like working as a glass blower or at a steel mill) are not recommended with or without the ICL.

Mazin Yaldo, MD · Answer

Other than avoiding swimming and getting water in your eyes
for two weeks post-surgery, and rubbing or getting hit in your eyes for the
same period of time, there are no restrictions on activities after having ICL
surgery.
