Can I fly after laser eye surgery?

I have just had laser eye surgery and was wondering how soon i could fly?

There is no real risk associated with flying after you have had Laser eye surgery but most surgeons will probably advise you do not fly for about 1 week after Laser eye surgery. This is due to the dry atmosphere inside an aeroplane which may affect the healing. This is best checked out with your surgeon. Get more information about Laser eye surgery in our comprehensive guide.
