torn Retina

[sajaki]

after having laser procedure done for torn retina, How soon after can I wear contacts? When will I be able to resume normal activities?

1. Ask your surgeon both questions. Generally you can wear contacts right away and resume full activities about 6-8 weeks post laser.

so could I go on a hiking trip 1 week after procedure? If not could I wait until hiking trip (June 11th) to have procedure done?
