Hi guys, I was curious if you have any experience coaching trainees after they get LASEK? I am getting it January 10th and am curious how I should proceed with my program? I am just about to wrap up the bridge 2.0 today and was thinking of just running the low stress week for 2-3 weeks but take it a little easier. Any thoughts or experience?
There are no specific training modifications that would be needed once your ophthalmologist clears you to return to training. Starting out with a lower stress period would probably be wise.
Thanks Austin. Any recommendations on what I should do during recovery as far as exercise? My surgeon said he does not recommend heavy lifting or swimming for 6-12 weeks post-op which seems very excessive. I was told “Light” lifting was acceptable after a week. Sitting on my ass doing no exercise for 2-3 months is not going to happen as I think I would have a mental breakdown!
Hi there. I had LASIK Performed in November. I took the weekend (planned rest days anyway) and resumed my normal training. The only adjustment I made was brining my artificial tears and making sure I washed my hands after touching the equipment/chalk. Hope that helps!
