Are lash extensions 1 week after LASIK ok to get?

LuminousLashes20May 2, 2019
I had lasik on 4/25 and have a lash appointment for tomorrow 5/3. My doctor has given the green light for pretty much anything that doesn’t involve direct pressure/rubbing to the eyes. Healing really well, told me to just keep using drops and check back in 3 months. I’ve read conflicting timelines regarding makeup and lash extensions. Everywhere from 3 days to 2+ months. Just wanted to get some more opinions! Or 1st hand experience from others. TIA!

Most surgeons would think that 1 week is too early to judge. Most do heal faster depending on many issues including whether they had tried plain contact induced monovision before.There are lots of points your surgeon will be considering but be sure to discuss your concerns with them.

Bad way to qualify a doctor because answers aren’t verifiable and it depends on if you accept challenging cases. My rate is about 5% which is very good because with LASEK I treat up to -18. More accurately it’s about 1% per diopter preop Rx (3% for -3 Rx)

It usually takes 3 months to obtain your final vision after Lasik. In some cases, it can be 6-12 months.
