Eye makeup after lasik surgery

Lasik surgery has become one of the most popular surgery for getting rid of glasses.
Use of eye makeup is one of the most important questions patients ask. Some professions demand use of eye makeup. Eye makeup should be avoided at least for two weeks after lasik surgery. As we know lasik surgery involves creating a flap which heals on its own in twenty four hours but you are still likely to get eye infections. Major causes of avoiding eye makeup immediately after lasik surgery is one can easily injure the eye mainly the cornea while applying eye makeup,eye makeup can attract bacteria from the surrounding making eye prone to infection,removing the eye makeup by rubbing on the eye lids can dislodge the flap in early postoperative days.
After two weeks start with light makeup and use a new makeup kit,discard old brushes ,eye liner and pencils.Apply less pressure while applying eye makeup.Gently remove eye makeup by downward strokes on eye lid.Be safe.

Absolutely love how understanding Dr. Kumud Raut is. The only place where I have not been told about only the process of getting a surgery, but rather they insist on educating about how the eye functions and the importance of having a healthy eye before any surgery.

This is the best eye clinic ever. It's amazing how every staff is so caring. The faculty is simply top class and Dr. Aditya Raut is the best. His treatment is par excellence, but even more than more than that, he is a great human being.
