The ability to resume driving after laser eye surgery is a primary concern for many patients. This typically depends on the individual’s healing process and the surgeon’s post-operative assessment. A patient’s vision must meet legal driving standards, which involves sufficient visual acuity and a lack of hindering visual disturbances.
Resuming driving signifies a return to normalcy and independence following the procedure. It represents the practical application of improved vision and a key factor in patients’ decision-making regarding the surgery. The timeline for regaining driving privileges has significantly shortened over the years due to advancements in surgical techniques and technology.
