No, you should arrange to have someone drive you home after your LASIK surgery.
It is common to experience some blurriness and watery eyes after the procedure and after the numbing agent used during the Lasik procedure wears off. It is common for your eyes to be sensitive to light for up to a few hours after the procedure.
A mild sedative may be used during the procedure which may cause drowsiness. We recommend that you arrange for transportation to and from the clinic.
The best course of action is to have a friend or family member drive you home, and then you can relax or take a nap.
A clear and protective shield will be placed over your eyes after the Lasik procedure to keep you from rubbing, touching or hitting your eyes after your surgery.
During your follow-up and first post-operational exam, your eye doctor will check your eyesight to make sure you are authorized to drive without corrective lenses. Ask your doctor to give you paperwork to take to your local Motor Vehicles Authority so that you can have the “requires corrective lenses” restriction removed from your driver’s license.
