Question:
I just had eye surgery. How long should I wait before I fly?
Answer:
The fact that you had surgery on the eye – I have to think about what type of surgery did you have before I say 'yes you can fly.' I also wouldn't say 'yes you can fly after this certain number of days' because that's something that you and your doctor need to work on together. I'm sure your doctor's going to want to complete the post-operative care, make sure everything is OK, make sure you've gone through the appropriate healing. And whether you fly, drive, walk, the conversation you're going to have with your eye physician/surgeon is most important. He or she will let you know when – whatever activities you want to participate in – you can now safely proceed, due to the fact that the surgery is healed.
